Sublette County

Sublette County is located in western Wyoming, bordering Lincoln County to the west, Teton County to the northwest, and Fremont County to the east. Established in 1921 and named for explorer William Sublette, it lies within a region shaped by ranching traditions and twentieth-century energy development. The county is small in population, with roughly 10,000 residents, and is among the more sparsely populated counties in the state. Sublette County is predominantly rural, with communities separated by large expanses of public land and high-elevation basins. Its landscape includes the Wind River Range, portions of the Bridger-Teton National Forest, and broad sagebrush valleys, supporting outdoor recreation alongside working lands. The local economy has historically centered on ranching and natural gas production, with related services concentrated in its towns. The county seat and largest town is Pinedale, which serves as the primary administrative and commercial hub.

Sublette County is a sparsely populated county in western Wyoming in the Upper Green River Basin, with communities including Pinedale, Big Piney, and Marbleton. It is part of a region characterized by extensive public lands and energy and outdoor-recreation economies.

Sublette County’s large land area, dispersed settlement pattern, and mountain terrain increase last‑mile network costs and can constrain reliable home internet access, shaping how residents access email.

Direct county-level email usage statistics are not routinely published, so email access trends are inferred from digital access proxies such as broadband subscriptions, device availability, and demographics from the U.S. Census Bureau (data.census.gov). Recent ACS indicators for Sublette County show most households report a computing device and an internet subscription, but a measurable minority report no subscription, implying reliance on mobile data, workplace connections, or public access points for email. Age structure also matters: Sublette County has a substantial working‑age population alongside a notable older cohort; older age is generally associated with lower rates of adopting new digital services, which can reduce routine email use compared with younger adults.

Gender distribution is close to balanced and is not a primary driver in standard digital adoption research relative to age and access.

Connectivity constraints are commonly tied to rural infrastructure and terrain; county context is documented through local planning and services on the Sublette County government website.

Sublette County is a sparsely populated, rural county in western Wyoming that includes extensive mountainous and high-desert terrain (including areas near the Wind River Range and large tracts of public land). Low population density, long distances between settlements (notably Pinedale, Big Piney, and Marbleton), and rugged topography are structural factors that can limit mobile signal propagation and reduce the business case for dense cellular infrastructure.

Geographic and population context relevant to connectivity

Sublette County’s settlement pattern is dispersed, with most residents concentrated in a few small towns and many living in outlying areas. Mountain ridgelines, deep valleys, and wide open basins can create “shadowing” and coverage gaps that are typical in rural Rocky Mountain counties. Baseline demographic and housing context is available through the U.S. Census Bureau’s county profile tools, including population, housing units, and density indicators (see the county page on Census.gov data.census.gov and the county profile pages via Census QuickFacts).

Network availability (coverage) versus adoption (use)

Mobile connectivity outcomes in Sublette County are best understood by separating:

• Network availability (supply-side): where carriers report 4G LTE and 5G coverage, and whether an area is considered “served” by mobile broadband.
• Household and individual adoption (demand-side): whether residents subscribe to mobile voice/data service, rely on smartphones, and use mobile broadband as their primary internet connection.

County-level coverage data are generally available from federal mapping programs, while county-specific adoption statistics are often limited and may only be available through model-based estimates or multi-county survey products.

Mobile penetration or access indicators (adoption)

County-specific mobile adoption measures are limited in public, official datasets. Commonly cited adoption indicators at sub-state levels include:

• Smartphone ownership / cellular subscription rates (often measured by surveys and released at state or national levels rather than county).
• Household internet subscription type (including cellular data plans) from the American Community Survey (ACS). County estimates may be available for some tables depending on sample size and margin of error.

For authoritative household internet subscription categories (including “cellular data plan”), the ACS is the primary federal source. The ACS data portal on Census.gov is the standard access point; users should note that for smaller counties, some detailed estimates may have large margins of error or be suppressed.

A separate, adoption-adjacent indicator is whether residents report broadband availability and use in statewide assessments. Wyoming broadband planning materials often summarize broadband adoption challenges in rural areas; statewide resources are typically organized through the State of Wyoming and Wyoming broadband program offices where published.

Limitation: Publicly accessible, definitive county-level “mobile penetration rate” (e.g., percentage of residents with an active mobile subscription) is not consistently published by federal statistical agencies at the county level, and carrier subscription counts are typically proprietary.

Mobile internet usage patterns and technology (4G LTE and 5G)

Reported 4G LTE and 5G availability (network coverage)

• FCC mobile broadband coverage maps provide reported carrier coverage for LTE and 5G and are the principal nationwide reference for availability. The FCC’s mapping hub (including the National Broadband Map) is accessible via the FCC National Broadband Map.
• In rural mountainous counties, reported coverage can differ from on-the-ground performance because propagation varies with terrain, vegetation, and tower siting. The FCC map is still the standard benchmark for “reported availability,” while crowd-sourced speed tests and drive tests are typically non-official supplements.

At the county scale, typical patterns in rural Wyoming include:

• 4G LTE as the baseline wide-area mobile coverage across main highways and towns, with weaker service in remote valleys, mountainous areas, and away from primary roads.
• 5G availability generally concentrated in or near population centers and along major corridors, with large rural areas continuing to rely on LTE for practical connectivity.

Limitation: Public sources generally describe availability by provider coverage claims; consistent countywide measurements of 5G performance and utilization are not published as official statistics.

Usage patterns (how mobile internet is used)

Public, county-level usage patterns (streaming vs messaging, app usage intensity, “mobile-only” internet dependence) are not typically available from official datasets. Inferences should not be treated as definitive without survey data specific to Sublette County. The ACS can indicate whether households use a cellular data plan as part of their internet subscription mix, but it does not provide detailed behavioral usage patterns.

Common device types (smartphones vs other devices)

County-level device-type breakdowns (smartphones vs feature phones vs tablets/hotspots) are generally not reported in official statistics for a single rural county. The most widely published device indicators are national or state-level survey measures. Within federal datasets, “device type” is not commonly enumerated in a way that produces a definitive county estimate.

Practical device categories relevant to rural connectivity discussions include:

• Smartphones (dominant device type in most U.S. contexts, but not quantified publicly at Sublette County specificity)
• Dedicated mobile hotspots / routers (often used where wired broadband is limited, but typically not measured in public county statistics)
• Connected vehicles and IoT devices (usage is not enumerated in official county datasets)

Limitation: Without a county-specific survey or provider dataset released publicly, definitive proportions of smartphone vs non-smartphone devices in Sublette County cannot be stated.

Demographic and geographic factors influencing mobile usage and connectivity

Terrain and land use

• Mountainous topography and expansive open space contribute to coverage variability and can produce “not spots” even within nominally served areas.
• Large areas of public land and seasonal recreation activity can increase demand in places where infrastructure is sparse, but official datasets do not quantify this impact at the county level.

Settlement pattern and transportation corridors

• Connectivity is typically strongest in and around incorporated towns and along primary highways where towers can serve more users and where backhaul is easier to provision.
• More remote homes and ranches are more likely to experience weaker indoor signal and fewer provider options.

Population density and infrastructure economics

• Lower density reduces the number of subscribers per square mile, affecting tower density, backhaul investment, and the pace of technology upgrades. This is a structural factor documented broadly in rural telecommunications planning, though not usually quantified as a county-specific causal estimate.

Local and state reference points and data limitations

• Sublette County’s official resources are accessible via the Sublette County government website, which may provide planning documents and community context but typically does not publish carrier-grade coverage or adoption statistics.
• For authoritative federal coverage reporting, the primary reference is the FCC National Broadband Map.
• For demographic, housing, and some subscription indicators (including “cellular data plan” within household internet subscriptions where available), the standard reference is Census.gov.

Summary (availability vs adoption)

• Network availability: Best documented through the FCC’s broadband mapping systems, which report carrier-claimed LTE and 5G coverage; rural terrain and distance are key constraints in Sublette County.
• Actual adoption: County-specific mobile subscription penetration, smartphone ownership shares, and detailed mobile usage behaviors are not consistently available as definitive public statistics for Sublette County; ACS tables can support limited insights into household internet subscription types (including cellular data plans) but do not fully describe mobile device ownership or usage intensity.

Sublette County is a sparsely populated, high‑plains and mountain county in western Wyoming, anchored by Pinedale (county seat) and communities tied to outdoor recreation (e.g., the Wind River Range) and energy development (natural gas). Long travel distances, dispersed housing, and a strong recreation/field‑work economy tend to elevate the importance of mobile connectivity and community information channels, while also concentrating local discussion in a small number of countywide groups and pages.

User statistics (penetration / active use)

• Local (county-level) social media penetration: No major U.S. survey program publishes statistically robust, platform-by-platform county estimates for a low-population county like Sublette. As a result, definitive penetration rates specific to Sublette County are not available from standard reference sources.
• Best available benchmark (U.S. adult usage): Nationally, about 7 in 10 U.S. adults report using social media. This is the most commonly cited baseline for local context, reported by the Pew Research Center social media fact sheet.
• Broadband/mobile context relevant to rural counties: Rural areas consistently show lower broadband availability and adoption than urban/suburban areas, which can affect how often residents use data-heavy platforms (e.g., video). See the Pew Research Center internet/broadband fact sheet for rural–urban differences.

Age group trends

National age gradients are strong and are typically the most predictive demographic factor for platform use:

• Highest overall use: Adults 18–29 report the highest social media use (roughly 9 in 10), followed by 30–49 (around 8 in 10). Adults 65+ remain lower (roughly 4 in 10). Source: Pew Research Center social media fact sheet.
• Platform-typical age skews (U.S. patterns):
  • Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok: skew younger.
  • Facebook: broadest age coverage; comparatively stronger among older adults than most other platforms.
  • LinkedIn: concentrated among working-age adults and higher-education/white-collar sectors. Source: Pew Research Center platform-by-platform data.

Gender breakdown

• Overall social media use by gender: Nationally, men and women report similar overall social media use rates (differences are typically small in Pew’s reporting). Source: Pew Research Center.
• Platform differences (U.S. patterns):
  • Pinterest usage is substantially higher among women than men.
  • Reddit usage is higher among men than women.
  • Facebook and Instagram tend to be closer to parity than Pinterest/Reddit. Source: Pew platform breakdowns.

Most-used platforms (percentages where available)

County-specific platform shares are not published in standard public datasets; the most reliable reference values are national adult usage rates:

• YouTube: ~8 in 10 U.S. adults use it.
• Facebook: ~7 in 10.
• Instagram: ~5 in 10.
• Pinterest: ~3–4 in 10.
• TikTok: ~3–4 in 10.
• LinkedIn: ~3 in 10.
• X (Twitter): ~2 in 10.
• Snapchat: ~3 in 10.

Behavioral trends (engagement patterns / platform preferences)

Patterns below reflect established rural-community and platform-level behavior observed in national research and widely documented platform dynamics:

• Community information concentration: In small counties, local news, events, and public-safety updates commonly concentrate on Facebook Pages and Groups, which function as de facto community bulletin boards (school updates, road conditions, local commerce posts).
• Video-first consumption: YouTube tends to serve as the primary long-form video platform across age groups nationally; usage remains high even where other platforms vary by age. Source: Pew Research Center.
• Age-linked engagement styles:
  • Younger adults: heavier use of short-form video and direct messaging behaviors tied to TikTok/Instagram/Snapchat norms.
  • Older adults: higher reliance on Facebook for local updates, family connections, and community announcements. Source: Pew platform-by-age profiles.
• Mobile dependency: Rural geographies often encourage mobile-first social use (on-the-go updates, event coordination, marketplace activity), with usage intensity influenced by broadband availability and coverage. Context: Pew Research Center broadband/internet adoption.

Sublette County family-related vital records (birth and death) are administered at the state level by the Wyoming Department of Health, Vital Statistics Services. Certified copies are requested through the state’s ordering process (mail or approved vendor), rather than from the county clerk. Wyoming maintains statewide vital registration; county offices generally do not serve as the issuing authority for certified birth and death certificates.

Marriage records are typically recorded locally. The Sublette County Clerk issues marriage licenses and maintains recorded documents, including marriage-related filings and other county recording services.

Adoption records are generally handled through the courts and are not maintained as open public records. Court case access and recordkeeping are administered through Wyoming’s judicial branch; Sublette County court functions are associated with the Sublette County Clerk of District Court, while statewide court information is available via the Wyoming Judicial Branch.

Public databases are limited for family records: Wyoming vital records are not published as open, name-searchable public indexes by the state, and access to certified copies is restricted. In-person access to recorded documents is typically available at the County Clerk’s office during business hours; online access varies by record type and is reflected on the relevant county office pages.

Types of records available

• Marriage licenses and marriage certificates (Sublette County)

  • A marriage in Sublette County is documented through a marriage license issued by the county and the marriage return/certificate completed by the officiant and filed back with the county after the ceremony.
  • These records are the primary local civil documentation of a marriage.

Sublette County is a large, sparsely populated county in western Wyoming anchored by the communities of Pinedale, Big Piney, Marbleton, and Boulder. It is characterized by extensive public lands, a recreation-and-ranching landscape, and a historically energy-influenced economy (natural gas development in the Upper Green River Basin). Population size and many county indicators are best represented by U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) county estimates and state administrative datasets.

Education Indicators

Public schools (counts and names)

Sublette County is served primarily by Sublette County School District #1 (Pinedale area) and Sublette County School District #9 (Big Piney/Marbleton area). Public school listings and current configurations are maintained by the districts:

• District #1 schools commonly include Pinedale Elementary School, Pinedale Middle School, and Pinedale High School (plus district programs/services).
• District #9 schools commonly include Big Piney Elementary School, Big Piney Middle School, and Big Piney High School (plus district programs/services).
  School names and updates are posted by Sublette County School District #1 and Sublette County School District #9.
  Proxy note: A single “official” countywide count of public schools can vary year-to-year due to program sites and grade reconfigurations; district rosters represent the authoritative source for current school counts and names.

Student–teacher ratios and graduation rates

• Student–teacher ratios: District-level ratios are typically reported in state and federal education profiles (often in the mid-teens in rural Wyoming districts). The most consistent public reference points are district/state report cards and federal district profiles rather than a single countywide ratio.
• Graduation rates: Wyoming reports 4-year cohort graduation rates at the school and district level. Sublette County high schools’ graduation rates are published through Wyoming’s accountability/report-card systems. The statewide reporting portal is maintained by the Wyoming Department of Education.
  Proxy note: For the most recent numeric graduation rates and student–teacher ratios, district and state report-card publications are the primary authoritative sources; ACS does not provide K–12 operational metrics.

Adult educational attainment (ACS)

Adult education levels are best measured using ACS “Educational Attainment” for residents age 25+. County estimates are available through the Census Bureau’s county profiles:

• Share with high school diploma (or higher): reported in the county ACS profile
• Share with bachelor’s degree or higher: reported in the county ACS profile
  The most recent ACS-based county figures are published in the U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts for Sublette County, Wyoming.
  Interpretation note: In rural Wyoming counties, high school completion tends to be high, while bachelor’s attainment is often below large metro benchmarks; Sublette County’s exact current percentages are best taken directly from QuickFacts/ACS tables.

Notable programs (STEM, CTE, AP)

• Career and Technical Education (CTE): Wyoming districts commonly offer CTE pathways aligned with regional workforce needs (trades, agriculture mechanics, business, health support, and applied technologies). Program details are typically district-specific and aligned with state CTE standards; statewide context is maintained by the Wyoming Department of Education.
• Advanced coursework (AP/dual credit): Rural high schools in Wyoming often provide Advanced Placement (AP) and/or dual/concurrent enrollment options through partnerships. Specific offerings vary by school year and are documented in each high school’s course catalog or counseling office publications (district sites above).
  Proxy note: Program inventories (AP course list, dual-credit partners, CTE pathway list) are not consistently aggregated at the county level; district publications are the most direct source.

School safety measures and counseling resources

Wyoming districts generally implement layered safety practices (controlled entry procedures, emergency drills, coordination with local law enforcement/first responders) and provide student supports through counseling services. District-level student support staffing and safety plans are typically posted via district policy handbooks and board documents on district websites (District #1 and District #9 links above).
Proxy note: Specific staffing ratios for counselors/social workers and the precise safety technology used are district operational details that vary by year and are not reliably summarized in ACS or broad county profiles.

Employment and Economic Conditions

Unemployment rate (most recent available)

The most authoritative and frequently updated county unemployment estimates come from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS). Sublette County’s latest annual and monthly unemployment rates are published through BLS LAUS (county tables and time series).
Proxy note: A single “most recent year” value changes each year; BLS LAUS should be used for the current annual average and the latest monthly reading.

Major industries and employment sectors

Sublette County’s economy has historically been shaped by:

• Mining, quarrying, and oil & gas extraction and related support activities (Upper Green River Basin natural gas development)
• Construction (often tied to energy cycles and local growth)
• Public administration, education, and health services (schools, county services, clinics)
• Accommodation and food services, retail trade, arts/entertainment/recreation (tourism and outdoor recreation) County industry composition is reported in ACS “Industry by Occupation” and “Selected Economic Characteristics,” and in federal labor-market profiles. The ACS-based sector shares are accessible via data.census.gov (Sublette County tables).

Common occupations and workforce breakdown

Common occupational groupings in rural Wyoming counties with energy and land-based economies typically include:

• Management and professional (public sector leadership, education, health, business operations)
• Service occupations (hospitality, food service, protective services)
• Sales and office
• Natural resources, construction, and maintenance (construction trades, extraction support, equipment operation)
• Production, transportation, and material moving Exact occupational shares for Sublette County are provided in ACS occupational tables on data.census.gov.

Commuting patterns and mean commute time

ACS reports commuting modes and travel time to work:

• Mean travel time to work (minutes) is published in the county ACS profile and can be referenced via Sublette County QuickFacts or detailed ACS tables on data.census.gov.
  Rural counties commonly show high reliance on driving alone and limited public transit availability; Sublette County commuting aligns with these patterns.

Local employment versus out-of-county work

ACS provides “place of work” characteristics (working in county of residence vs. outside county) through commuting and workplace geography tables on data.census.gov.
Proxy note: Sublette County’s workforce includes locally employed residents and a share commuting to other counties for specialized jobs; the definitive split is captured in ACS place-of-work tables (county-to-county flows are also available through Census commuting products).

Housing and Real Estate

Homeownership and rental share

ACS provides tenure (owner-occupied vs. renter-occupied) at the county level:

• Homeownership rate and renter share are published in the most recent ACS county profile via Sublette County QuickFacts.
  Rural Wyoming counties typically have higher homeownership rates than large metropolitan areas, with a smaller rental stock concentrated in town centers.

Median property values and recent trends

• Median value of owner-occupied housing units (ACS) is reported in QuickFacts and ACS tables.
• Trend context: Sublette County values have tended to reflect a combination of Wyoming-wide post-2020 appreciation, local supply constraints, second-home/recreation demand in some areas, and cyclical energy-economy influences.
  The most consistent, comparable median value measure is the ACS county median shown on QuickFacts.
  Proxy note: Real-time market pricing can differ from ACS medians; MLS-based trend series are not a single standardized public county dataset.

Typical rent prices

ACS reports:

• Median gross rent (including utilities where applicable) for Sublette County via QuickFacts and ACS tables on data.census.gov.
  Proxy note: Rents vary significantly by community (Pinedale vs. Big Piney/Marbleton vs. rural areas) and by seasonality; the ACS median remains the standard county benchmark.

Types of housing

Sublette County’s housing stock is typically dominated by:

• Single-family detached homes (in-town and on larger rural parcels)
• Manufactured homes (a common rural housing type in Wyoming)
• Smaller multifamily inventory (apartments/duplexes) concentrated in incorporated towns (notably Pinedale and Big Piney/Marbleton) ACS “Units in Structure” tables on data.census.gov provide the county’s distribution across single-family, multifamily, and mobile/manufactured housing.

Neighborhood characteristics and proximity to amenities

• Pinedale functions as the primary service center with closer proximity to schools, county services, clinics, and retail.
• Big Piney/Marbleton provide local schools and town amenities with a smaller commercial footprint.
• Boulder and rural areas feature larger lots and greater distance to services, with access shaped by state highways and winter conditions.
  Proxy note: Neighborhood-level metrics (walkability indices, parcel-level proximity measures) are not consistently available as a single county dataset; incorporated-town patterns are the most stable reference.

Property tax overview (rate and typical homeowner cost)

Wyoming property tax is based on assessed value and local mill levies, with residential property assessed at a fraction of market value under state law, and tax levels varying by taxing district (schools, county, municipalities, special districts). County-level property tax context and local mill levy information are typically published by county assessor/treasurer offices and statewide tax guidance. A general statewide overview is available from the Wyoming Department of Revenue.
Proxy note: A single “average property tax rate” for Sublette County can differ materially by location (in-town vs. rural) and levy area; typical homeowner tax bills are best represented by taxing-district-specific mill levies applied to assessed value rather than a uniform county percentage.
