Overview
Understanding ZIP code 82923
ZIP code 82923 is assigned to Boulder, WY, and falls within Sublette County. Like every US postal code, it began as a mail-routing device rather than a geographic boundary — the US Postal Service groups delivery routes under a single code so carriers and sorting equipment can process mail efficiently. Today it also serves as a practical shorthand for the area itself: roughly 619 people live inside it.
At 1 residents per square mile spread over 998.822 square miles, 82923 reads as a rural area. It is a sparsely populated postal code, and density shapes almost everything else on this page — how people get to work, whether they own or rent, and what housing costs.
Living here
What life in Boulder looks like
Housing in 82923 costs well above the national median. A typical home is valued at $554,600 against a US median of $207,500. Ownership dominates: 100.0% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, which usually signals an established residential area with relatively low turnover.
The building stock is dominated by detached single-family houses, which account for 92.0% of housing units here. The median construction year is 1984, making the housing here from the later twentieth century. The vacancy rate of 35.0% is high, which in many places reflects seasonal or second-home use rather than abandonment.
The population skews older than the national median, with a median age of 51.1 against 42 nationally. The average household holds 2.11 people, and 48.6% are family households.
Getting to work takes 22.2 minutes on average one way. The dominant mode is worked from home at 44.4% of workers, while 44.4% work from home. Commute patterns are one of the better proxies for how a place actually functions day to day.
Where to stay
Where to stay in Boulder, WY
82923 covers a rural area, and accommodation within the postal code itself is likely to be sparse — perhaps a country inn, a lodge or a vacation rental rather than a conventional hotel. Widening the search radius is usually the practical approach, and it also opens up more availability at short notice.
For reference, Denver, CO is about 303.6 miles away in a straight line, which is worth factoring in if you are comparing a stay here against one closer to the city centre.

Practical uses
What ZIP code 82923 is used for
Beyond addressing mail, 82923 does a lot of quiet administrative work. Retailers use it to calculate shipping and sales tax at checkout. Insurers use it to set premiums, since risk profiles vary geographically. Employers and marketers use it to define service areas. Government agencies use it to route benefits and organise reporting. If you have ever been asked for a postal code by a form that clearly does not intend to send you anything, this is why.
For anyone weighing a move, 82923 offers a compact profile of Boulder: 619 residents, 33.8% of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher, and an unemployment rate of 0.0%. A handful of figures like these answer more relocation questions than most neighbourhood guides do.
One caution worth repeating: a postal code is not a neighbourhood. 82923 may cover parts of several distinct areas, and a single neighbourhood in Boulder may be split across more than one code. Boundaries also shift as USPS adjusts delivery routes. Treat the figures here as describing a delivery area, which is what they actually measure.
