Overview
Understanding ZIP code 82190
ZIP code 82190 is assigned to Yellowstone National Park, WY, and falls within Park County. Like every US postal code, it began as a mail-routing device rather than a geographic boundary — the US Postal Service groups delivery routes under a single code so carriers and sorting equipment can process mail efficiently. Today it also serves as a practical shorthand for the area itself: roughly 739 people live inside it.
Household earnings run below the national median. At $61,750, 82190 sits in the lower half, ahead of 36% of them. The US median for comparison is $70,109. Bear in mind that median income describes the midpoint household, not the average — it is not pulled upward by a handful of very high earners the way a mean would be.
Living here
What life in Yellowstone National Park looks like
The building stock is dominated by detached single-family houses, which account for 52.6% of housing units here. The median construction year is 1959, making the housing here mid-century. The vacancy rate of 78.6% is high, which in many places reflects seasonal or second-home use rather than abandonment.
The population skews broadly in line with the national age profile, with a median age of 44.3 against 42 nationally. Households are relatively large at 9.85 people on average, with 0.0% classified as family households.
Getting to work takes 9.7 minutes on average one way. The dominant mode is walked at 59.7% of workers, while 59.7% walk, 11.6% work from home. Commute patterns are one of the better proxies for how a place actually functions day to day.
Where to stay
Where to stay in Yellowstone National Park, WY
82190 covers a rural area, and accommodation within the postal code itself is likely to be sparse — perhaps a country inn, a lodge or a vacation rental rather than a conventional hotel. Widening the search radius is usually the practical approach, and it also opens up more availability at short notice.
For reference, Denver, CO is about 439.3 miles away in a straight line, which is worth factoring in if you are comparing a stay here against one closer to the city centre.

Practical uses
What ZIP code 82190 is used for
Beyond addressing mail, 82190 does a lot of quiet administrative work. Retailers use it to calculate shipping and sales tax at checkout. Insurers use it to set premiums, since risk profiles vary geographically. Employers and marketers use it to define service areas. Government agencies use it to route benefits and organise reporting. If you have ever been asked for a postal code by a form that clearly does not intend to send you anything, this is why.
For anyone weighing a move, 82190 offers a compact profile of Yellowstone National Park: 739 residents, a median household income of $61,750, 46.5% of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher, and an unemployment rate of 0.0%. A handful of figures like these answer more relocation questions than most neighbourhood guides do.
One caution worth repeating: a postal code is not a neighbourhood. 82190 may cover parts of several distinct areas, and a single neighbourhood in Yellowstone National Park may be split across more than one code. Boundaries also shift as USPS adjusts delivery routes. Treat the figures here as describing a delivery area, which is what they actually measure.
