What it’s like
The place. Tribune is a small city and the seat of Greeley County, home to a very small population on the high plains of western Kansas. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and household incomes run about level with the county's. Winters are cold, summers are hot, and snow falls most winters, while the year as a whole is fairly dry.
Work. Many residents work in farming, forestry and mining, with others employed in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in the building trades. Across Greeley County, the largest workplaces include Greeley County Health Services, Greeley County Schools and J7 Dairy. Unemployment across the county is lower than a year earlier, and the county has added jobs over the past year.
Things to do. Days here tend to follow the rhythms of a farming town, with school events, church gatherings and time spent outdoors in open country. Summers are warm enough for long evenings outside, and winter brings cold days and some snow. Visitors will find the town's pace quiet and its landscape wide and flat.

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