What it’s like
The place. Boulder is a community in Sublette County in western Wyoming, where people tend to know one another. Winters are cold and bring a good deal of snow, while summers are warm, so the seasons stand out clearly. Rain is light for most of the year.
Work. Many residents work in farming, forestry and mining, or in schools, hospitals and social care. Others work in transport, warehouses and utilities, or in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Sublette County, unemployment is lower than a year ago, though the number of jobs has slipped slightly.
Things to do. Green River, a river a longer drive away, is one of the better-known waterways in the area. The Museum of the Mountain Man, also a longer drive away, tells the story of the region's fur trappers. Fremont Lake, a reservoir a longer drive away, is another option for a day out.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Boulder’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively 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 Sublette County.
