What it’s like

The place. Freedom is a very small community in Lincoln County, Wyoming, with far fewer residents than most towns. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and highs staying well below freezing, while summers are warm and July is the warmest month. Rain and melted snow add up to a modest amount over the year.

Work. Residents of Freedom work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in the building trades, and in professional and business services. Across Lincoln County, some of the largest workplaces are Star Valley Hospital, Lincoln County School District #2 and PacifiCorp. Household incomes across the county are fairly high, and unemployment there is low and little changed from a year earlier.

Things to do. The nearest outdoor destinations are all a longer drive away. Greys River is a river, and Caribou–Targhee National Forest and Bridger National Forest are large protected forests. Grays Lake National Wildlife Refuge is a protected area set aside for wildlife.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Freedom’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.
