What it’s like
The place. Uniontown is a very small town in Whitman County, Washington, where neighbors are likely to know one another by sight. Homes here are valued well above what a typical household in the county could easily match, and the share of residents living below the poverty line is lower than many people might expect. Winters are cold, with December the coldest month and a fair amount of snow, while summers turn properly hot by July.
Work. Residents mostly work in schools, hospitals and social care, with restaurants, hotels and entertainment, shops, and professional and business services close behind. Across Whitman County, some of the biggest workplaces are Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Pullman Regional Hospital and the Pullman School District. The typical commute is a moderate one, and very few people work from home. Unemployment in the county has risen a little over the past year, and the county has fewer jobs than it did a year earlier.
Things to do. Lower Granite Lake, a reservoir, is a short drive away and is the closest spot for time on the water. A longer drive brings you to Nez Perce National Historical Park, a protected area with a place in the history of the region. Also a longer drive away is the University of Idaho Arboretum and Botanical Garden, a good place for a quiet walk among planted trees and flower beds.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Uniontown’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively 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 Whitman County and the Pullman, WA metro.
