What it’s like
The place. Hulett is a very small town in Crook County, Wyoming, where residents are older than in most places and people tend to know one another. Household incomes run a little below the county's, and few residents live below the poverty line. Homes here are valued well above what the local incomes might suggest.
Work. Many residents work in farming, forestry and mining, with others in schools, hospitals and social care, the building trades, and professional and business services. Some work from home. Across Crook County, the largest workplaces include the Crook County School District, Crook County Medical Services and the paving materials maker Croell, and unemployment there is low and unchanged from a year earlier.
Things to do. Devils Tower National Monument, a protected area, and Wyoming Highway 110, a tourist attraction, are both a short drive away. Keyhole State Park, another protected area, is a longer drive away. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while summers are warm and July is the warmest, so the seasons shape what a day out looks like.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Hulett’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 Crook County and the Gillette, WY metro.
