Overview
Understanding ZIP code 83116
ZIP code 83116 is assigned to Diamondville, WY, and falls within Lincoln 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 603 people live inside it.
At 210 residents per square mile spread over 2.873 square miles, 83116 reads as a small-town area. It is a sparsely populated postal code, and density shapes almost everything else on this page — how people get to work, whether they own or rent, and what housing costs.
Household earnings track close to the national picture. The median of $64,559 puts 83116 near the middle of the pack, ahead of 41% 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 Diamondville looks like

The building stock is dominated by larger apartment buildings of twenty units or more, which account for 59.8% of housing units here. The median construction year is 1979, making the housing here from the later twentieth century.

Practical uses
What ZIP code 83116 is used for
Beyond addressing mail, 83116 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, 83116 offers a compact profile of Diamondville: 603 residents, a median household income of $64,559, 5.8% 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. 83116 may cover parts of several distinct areas, and a single neighbourhood in Diamondville 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.
