What it’s like
The place. Lyman is a small town in southwestern Wyoming, in Uinta County. Winters are long and cold, with a lot of snow, while summers are pleasantly warm, and the year as a whole is fairly dry. Typical home values here are modest, and few residents live below the poverty line.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in restaurants and hotels, or in the building trades. Across Uinta County, the largest workplaces include the Uinta County School District, Walmart and Evanston Regional hospital. The county has seen jobs edge up over the past year, and unemployment there is lower than it was a year ago.
Things to do. Fort Bridger, a museum, is a short drive away and a good place to learn about the area's history. Farther afield, Piedmont Charcoal Kilns State Historic Site is a protected area a longer drive away, and Granger Stage Station State Historic Site, also a protected area, is a longer drive as well.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Lyman’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very low. 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 Uinta County and the Evanston, WY metro.
