What it’s like
The place. Alpine is a small town where the Greys River runs in or beside town, and winters are cold, with the coldest weather in January and mild, warm summers by comparison. Rain and melted snow add up to a moderate amount over the year. Home prices run high, and incomes across Lincoln County sit well above what many places see, while fewer people live below the poverty line than in much of the country.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in the building trades, or in professional and business services. Across Lincoln County, some of the largest workplaces are Star Valley Hospital, Lincoln County School District #2 and ExxonMobil Production Company. Unemployment is low, and the commute is a long one, so plenty of people spend a good stretch of the day getting to work, while a share work from home.
Things to do. The Greys River is right in or beside town, a place for fishing, paddling or a walk along the water. A longer drive away is Bridger–Teton National Forest, a large protected area for hiking and camping. Also a longer drive away, the National Museum of Wildlife Art makes a good indoor outing, and the National Elk Refuge is another protected area known for its wildlife.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Alpine’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very high. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Lincoln County.
