Wheatland town, WY in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Wheatland town is a small town in Wyoming, with 3,570 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #23 of 205 ranked by population — larger than 89% of them. The median age here is 41.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Wheatland town earn a median of $55,908 a year, 28.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 20% below the $69,912 median for the 54 Wyoming cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 9.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Wheatland town is valued at $236,400, 22.1% below the national figure and 6% below the $251,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $707 a month, 49.7% below the national figure, or roughly $8,484 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.2% 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 4.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 59.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
