What it’s like
The place. Jackson is a small town in Teton County where most homes are rented rather than lived in by their owners, and where home values and rents run very high. Household incomes are a little below the county's, and few residents live below the poverty line. Adults here are more likely than most Americans to hold a four-year degree, and the population is fairly young.
Work. Many residents work in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, in shops, in the building trades, or in schools, hospitals and social care. Among the largest workplaces in Jackson are St. Johns Hospital, the Teton County School District and Albertsons. Unemployment is low, and the commute is short, so most people are home again quickly.
Things to do. Snow King Mountain and the National Elk Refuge are both in or beside town, and Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, a ski area, is a short drive away. For a longer outing, Grand Teton National Park is a longer drive away. Winters are cold and very snowy, with summers that stay warm without getting hot.

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