Sheridan city, WY in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Sheridan city is a mid-size town in Wyoming, with 19,035 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #6 of 205 ranked by population — larger than 97% of them. The median age here is 39.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Sheridan city earn a median of $61,598 a year, 21.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 12% below 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 11.8% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Sheridan city is valued at $295,300, 2.7% below the national figure and 17% above the $251,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $933 a month, 33.6% below the national figure, or roughly $11,196 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.2% 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 4.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 62% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
