Cheyenne, WY population, income and ZIP codes

Cheyenne city is a small city in Wyoming, with 64,976 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it first of 205 ranked by population. The median age here is 38.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Cheyenne city earn a median of $77,176 a year, 1.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 10% above 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 9.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Cheyenne city is valued at $311,200, 2.6% above the national figure and 24% above the $251,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,035 a month, 26.4% below the national figure, or roughly $12,420 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.1% 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 4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 67.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
