What it’s like
The place. Glendo is a very small town in Platte County, Wyoming, where neighbors are likely to know one another. Homes here are valued above what Zillow shows for many small Wyoming towns, and household incomes across Platte County are modest. Winters are cold and summers are warm, with little rain or melted snow over the course of a year.
Work. Across Platte County, many people work in schools, hospitals and social care, in the building trades, and in transport, warehouses and utilities, with others in restaurants and hotels. Among the county's largest workplaces are Platte County School District, Platte County Memorial Hospital and Wheatland Rural Electric Association. Job numbers across the county grew only slightly last year, and only a small group of residents work from home.
Things to do. Glendo State Park and Glendo Reservoir are both a short drive away, for time on the water and outdoors. Farther out, a longer drive leads to Guernsey State Park, another protected area, and to the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley Railroad Passenger Depot, a museum.

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