What it’s like
The place. Sublette is a small city in southwestern Kansas, the seat of Haskell County. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and household incomes run close to the county's. Winters are cold and summers are hot, with some snow in winter and modest rainfall across the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, and in farming, with shops and manufacturing close behind. Across Haskell County, some of the largest workplaces are Satanta District Hospital, Sublette Schools and the cattle feeding and feed-making businesses, such as APC. Fewer residents work from home than might be expected in a town with a mix of farm and service jobs.
Things to do. For time outdoors, the North Fork Cimarron River is a longer drive away. Finney County Point of Rocks, a tourist attraction, is also a longer drive from town.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Sublette’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 Haskell County and the Liberal, KS metro.
