Powell city, WY in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Powell city is a mid-size town in Wyoming, with 6,466 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #14 of 205 ranked by population — larger than 93% of them. The median age here is 33.5 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 Powell city earn a median of $65,077 a year, 17.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 7% 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 13.7% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Powell city is valued at $265,400, 12.5% below the national figure and 6% above the $251,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $856 a month, 39.1% below the national figure, or roughly $10,272 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.8% 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 4.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 68.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.
