What it’s like
The place. Evanston is a small city in Uinta County, Wyoming, and its residents are younger than the typical American. Most households own their homes. Incomes run a little below the county's as a whole, and relatively few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are long and cold, with January the coldest month and plenty of snow, while July is pleasantly warm and the year as a whole is dry.
Work. Schools, hospitals and social care employ more local residents than anything else, followed by shops, the building trades, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Among the biggest workplaces in town are the Uinta County School District, Walmart and Evanston Regional hospital. Commutes are short, and very few people work from home. Unemployment in the county has eased compared with a year ago, and the number of jobs has edged up slightly.
Things to do. Bear River State Park is a protected area in or beside town, and it is the easiest place to get outdoors. A longer drive brings you to Lost Creek State Park, another protected area, and to Fort Bridger, a museum on the old frontier route. Piedmont Charcoal Kilns State Historic Site and Fort Supply are also a longer drive away, for those who enjoy local history.

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