Sublette County, WY
Demographic and economic profile of Sublette County, WY, sourced from the US Census Bureau (American Community Survey) via Data USA.
AI Overview
Sublette County is a small, resource-extraction-oriented economy in western Wyoming, with a population of 8,806 that has declined 11.5% over five years. Despite its size, the county posts a GDP per capita of $96,919 against a median household income of $83,597, reflecting capital-intensive industry rather than broad wage distribution, while an unemployment rate of just 1.8% points to a tight labor pool of limited scale. Housing is relatively accessible at a median home value of $350,100 and median rent of $1,116, with an 83.6% homeownership rate, though the shrinking population and a median age of 43.5 signal a workforce facing attrition pressure.
