What it’s like
The place. Lingle is a very small town in Goshen County, in the farm country of eastern Wyoming. Households here are on the whole better off than the county's typical household, and very few people live below the poverty line. Winters are cold, with January highs hovering near freezing and nights well below it, while July brings hot afternoons. Precipitation is light, as in much of the High Plains, falling as a mix of rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by farming, forestry and mining, then shops and professional and business services. Across Goshen County, the largest workplaces include Goshen County School District, Eastern Wyoming College and Community Hospital. Commutes are short, and very few people work from home. Unemployment across the county has eased compared with a year earlier, and the number of jobs has been close to flat.
Things to do. The Laramie River, a river a longer drive away, offers a quiet place to be near water on the plains. Fort Laramie National Historic Site, a protected area also a longer drive away, preserves a well-known piece of the region's frontier past. Guernsey State Park, another protected area a longer drive away, is a place for time outdoors.

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