Evanston city, WY in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Evanston city is a mid-size town in Wyoming, with 11,803 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #7 of 205 ranked by population — larger than 97% of them. The median age here is 35.9 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 Evanston city earn a median of $76,569 a year, 2.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 10% above the $69,912 median for the 54 Wyoming cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 6.8% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Evanston city is valued at $236,400, 22.1% below the national figure and 6% below the $251,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $841 a month, 40.2% below the national figure, or roughly $10,092 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13.2% 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 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 70.9% 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.
