How to use this report
A Tupll Area Report is a field guide to the character and operating environment around a location, not a revenue calculation or a site evaluation. Measured figures come straight from cited public datasets; Interpretations are Tupll's labeled reading of them, and neither is a site-specific revenue forecast.

InterpretationMore turnover than a rural area's reputation suggests, consistent with a workforce that follows jobs in and out.
The local economy
Despite the tiny resident population, this is a working landscape, not just farmland.
~433 jobs
located in the surrounding tract
Measuredcensus tract · LODES 2022
InterpretationWith about 433 jobs against roughly 257 households, the area draws in more workers than it houses. It is a small production and agricultural employment node, not a bedroom community.
Mfg & ag
lead the job base
Measuredcensus tract · LODES 2022
InterpretationEmployment here is built on making and growing things, with construction and a little retail alongside, the profile of a rural industrial and farming corridor.
Top employment by jobs: Manufacturing 87, Agriculture 75, Construction 65, Retail 52. Source: U.S. Census LEHD LODES 2022, for the census tract containing the point (a broad rural footprint).
Getting around and what's nearby
Access here is by vehicle, over distance.

InterpretationThere is essentially no local retail or consumer economy. Residents drive to LaGrange for the basics and to Torrington or Scottsbluff (~29 mi) for full services.
Operating implications
Conditions an operator would plan around in a remote, low-density area like this. These describe the place, not a recommendation, a forecast, or a revenue estimate for any specific business.
Better suited to production than to retail
With ~2 consumer businesses in a mile, a manufacturing/ag job base, and industrial sites present, the area fits production, agricultural, or logistics uses far better than a foot-traffic retail concept.
A wide, thin trade area
Any consumer-facing operation would have to draw from a large, sparsely populated radius rather than local walk-in traffic, and compete with the pull of Torrington, Scottsbluff and Cheyenne.
Workforce is present but commutes in
The tract already supports hundreds of jobs, so labor exists, but it is drawn from a wide commute shed rather than the immediate 555-person population.
Fully car-and-highway dependent
No transit and near-zero walkability mean access, deliveries, and logistics all run on the road network. Highway proximity and drive-times matter more than any local street grid.
Modest local spending power
Resident income runs well below the state median, so a concept relying on local household spending would likely misread the market.
Distance to services is a real cost
Full services sit ~29 miles away. Supply, staffing, and customer convenience all carry a distance penalty worth planning for.
Data quality & limitations
Labels:Measured = direct from a cited dataset; Interpretation = Tupll's labeled reading of that data.
Sources: demographics and mobility from the U.S. Census (ACS 2024 5-year, ZIP 82221); jobs from Census LEHD LODES; walkability from the U.S. EPA; businesses from OpenStreetMap.
Geography: in open country the ZIP and census tract each cover a large area, so figures describe the surrounding rural community, not a single parcel. The benchmark is Wyoming statewide.
Coverage: OpenStreetMap and open-license street imagery are sparse in remote areas, so this report is map-and-data-led rather than photo-led. No municipal permit or transit feed applies here.
Tupll characterizes areas, never a specific parcel, listing, or building. These figures describe the country around a point. They carry no revenue projection and are not an investment recommendation.
Evaluate this location's revenue potential
This report shows the area's character. A full Tupll evaluation fuses it with your own locations and sales to predict revenue for this specific site, the one number this free report can't produce, by design.
