Natrona County · Casper, WY · Population 1,739
Mills, WY (ZIP 82644) sits in Natrona County within the Casper metro area. The page draws on 1 federal data feed retrieved Apr 24. Top health signal: Annual Checkup comes in above the national average at 69.6%. No NCES schools are mapped to this ZIP in the current dataset. 1 college or university serves the area, with median in-state tuition of $4,470. FDIC counts just 1 bank branch in this ZIP (Summary of Deposits, 2024) — residents likely lean on neighboring ZIPs or online banking for most services. The CDC SVI flags household composition (77th percentile) as this ZIP's standout vulnerability dimension, sitting well above its overall 43th-percentile score. Fire accounts for 50% of the 8 FEMA disaster declarations on record for this ZIP. Annual precipitation averages just 12.2" per NOAA's 1991–2020 Normals — an arid-climate ZCTA where landscaping and water-budget choices matter more than national averages suggest. 34.0% of residents in this county are flagged low-access by USDA's 2025 Food Environment Atlas — a notable supermarket-access gap. Wyoming has no state income tax (Tax Foundation 2025). New residents arriving here predominantly come from Converse County, WY (IRS SOI Migration, 2022-2023). Healthcare access is the area's quieter strength; school options sit on the lighter side, so families may find themselves looking at districts a few ZIPs over. Notable: median household income $60,685, fair market rent of $960 for a two-bedroom, and a median home value of $157,900. Every figure on this page links to its underlying federal dataset with a retrieval date so you can audit the freshness yourself.
