Cody, Wyoming

The 2020 Census counted 10,028 Cody residents and the 2024 estimate is 10,391 across 10.43 square miles. Cody is the Park County seat and sits near the Shoshone River, with Yellowstone Regional Airport providing air access.

Compare the proposed home with Cody Regional Health, primary care, pharmacy, groceries, parks, pathways, library and civic destinations, airport access, and the winter roads used for regional specialists. The attractions map is not the same as a daily-services map.

For 2020 through 2024, Census estimates place median owner value at $378,500, median gross rent at $1,051, and median selected owner costs at $1,517 with a mortgage or $547 without one. Median household income was $72,570, and 69.5% of homes were owner-occupied.

Add taxes, insurance, utilities, heating, snow removal, repairs, transportation, parking, care, and seasonal price changes. A home near downtown may reduce some driving while costing more than a property with a longer winter route.

Cody Regional Health describes a 24-hour emergency department and EMS system and identifies the hospital as the only Area Trauma Center for Wyoming Region 5 and the Big Horn Basin, including Park, Big Horn, Washakie, and Hot Springs counties.

That regional role is valuable, but it does not guarantee every specialty, insurance network, appointment time, or transfer destination. Confirm complex-care referrals, winter travel, rehabilitation, home support, and aftercare before choosing a home.

The Cody Police Department provides patrol, investigations, school-resource, bicycle-patrol, and tactical-response functions, but its public page does not provide a current citywide crime rate. Avoid turning staffing or a third-party ranking into a blanket label.

The city established a storm-drainage utility after high-intensity rain caused downtown flooding. Review the exact parcel for drainage, flood maps, snow and ice, lighting, parking, power, roads, and emergency access.

NOAA and the National Weather Service's Cody station, USC00481840, is at 5,280 feet in Park County. Its 1991-2020 normals show a 46.8 degree Fahrenheit annual mean, average high of 58.1, average low of 35.6, 11.51 inches of precipitation, and 45 inches of snow. January's mean is 28.6 and July's is 70.6.

The station sits above Cody's stated elevation, so use it as a nearby comparison rather than a promise for every block. Inspect heating, insulation, roof, snow, ice, tires, covered entries, power, smoke, and the route to care during a winter warning.
