Alpine town, WY in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Alpine town is a very small community in Wyoming, with 978 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #61 of 205 ranked by population — larger than 70% of them. The median age here is 33.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Alpine town earn a median of $100,625 a year, 28.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 44% above the $69,912 median for the 54 Wyoming cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 7.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Alpine town is valued at $511,000, 68.4% above the national figure and 103% above the $251,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,213 a month, 13.7% below the national figure, or roughly $14,556 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.5% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 49.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
