The economic volatility experienced by Big Horn, particularly the sharp drops in median income in 2020 and 2022, likely reflect broader economic challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent economic disruptions. Many rural communities across the country have faced similar economic pressures during this period.
Big Horn remains a low-diversity community with a strong white majority, but there are subtle signs of increasing diversity. The economic challenges evidenced by the fluctuating and ultimately decreasing median income may influence future demographic trends in this small Wyoming community. Continued monitoring of these trends will be crucial to understanding the long-term demographic and economic trajectory of Big Horn.
