What it’s like
The place. Shoshoni is a very small town, with fewer residents than most places that carry a name on the map. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and a fair amount of snow, while July brings hot days. Precipitation is light overall, so this is dry country.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, and others work in shops, restaurants and hotels, or in farming, forestry and mining. Across Fremont County, some of the largest workplaces are Fremont County School District, Central Wyoming College and Walmart. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than across most of the country, and the typical commute is a little longer than a quick drive across town.
Things to do. Water and open country are the main draws nearby. Boysen Reservoir and Boysen State Park, a reservoir and a protected area, are a longer drive away, as is Wind River, one of the area's rivers. The Wyoming Dinosaur Center, a museum, is also a longer drive away.

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