Methodology: How We Determined The Richest Places In Wyoming For 2023

The first thing that comes to most people’s minds when they think about determining the richest places is simply identifying personal incomes. After all, rich people have really high salaries.

However, we don’t believe that one statistic wholly encompasses what it means to be one of the “richest places.” So we looked at this set of criteria from the newly released 2017-2021 American Community Survey and applied Saturday Night Science:

Median Home Values
Median Household Income

Median household income is the most digestible way to understand how rich a place is. And home values are a measure of wealth. The two combine to define a “Rich City.”

After we collected the data for all 21 places with more than 3,000 people in Wyoming, we ranked each place from 1 to 21 for each of the criteria, with 1 being the richest.

We then averaged all the rankings for a place into a “Rich Score,” with the place having the lowest overall Rich Score, Jackson, crowned the “Richest City In Wyoming For 2023.”

The data has been updated for 2023. This is our tenth time ranking the wealthiest cities in Wyoming.
