Mills town, WY in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Mills town is a small town in Wyoming, with 4,315 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #21 of 205 ranked by population — larger than 90% of them. The median age here is 37.5 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 Mills town earn a median of $55,594 a year, 29.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 20% below 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 10% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Mills town is valued at $166,800, 45% below the national figure and 34% below the $251,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,047 a month, 25.5% below the national figure, or roughly $12,564 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.6% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 74.4% 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.
