Little America sits along Interstate 80 in southwestern Wyoming's Sweetwater County, 118 square miles of high desert where the highway defines everything. This isn't a residential town. It's a highway service point where 137 workers staff 3 business establishments that serve travelers crossing the state.
The 54 residents live in 17 renter-occupied housing units. All 17 households are renters, none are homeowners. Median age is 46 years. These are likely employees of the highway businesses working in one of Wyoming's most remote stretches, where winter winds and summer heat make Interstate 80 a challenging corridor.
Mail delivery uses Highway Contract Route H, appropriate for a linear highway settlement. The single street in the ZIP+4 database is State Highway 374. General Delivery is available for transient populations. With zero PO Boxes recorded in current data and highway contract delivery, mail service matches the temporary, work-focused character of the settlement.
Little America has operated under this ZIP code since before October 2004. An alternative spelling, "Litl America," was recognized in January 2006 as a valid mailing name. The Census Bureau recorded 93 single-family dwelling units in spatial data but only 17 occupied households, suggesting employee housing tied to business operations rather than a traditional residential community.
Single highway address reflects linear highway service settlement.
