Baggs town, WY in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Baggs town is a very small community in Wyoming, with 411 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #91 of 205 ranked by population — larger than 55% of them. The median age here is 32.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Baggs town earn a median of $54,063 a year, 31.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 23% below the $69,912 median for the 54 Wyoming cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 6.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Baggs town is valued at $180,800, 40.4% below the national figure and 28% below the $251,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $698 a month, 50.4% below the national figure, or roughly $8,376 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.5% 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 3.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 81.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
