Who Should NOT Move to Cheyenne?
Cheyenne is probably not the right fit for movers seeking a dramatically below-national-median housing market, minimal homeowners-insurance costs, convenient in-city major-airport access, or strong confidence in a single, precise, undisputed crime-rate or cost-of-living figure.

Learn moreAnyone Seeking a Dramatically Below-National-Median Housing Market
Given Cheyenne's cited typical home value running only approximately 3.9% below this project's national median sale price comparison figure -- a real, but genuinely modest, gap distinct from the much larger affordability advantage disclosed in several of this project's other Tier A+ markets -- movers prioritizing a dramatically cheaper housing market should compare Cheyenne directly against those markets.
Anyone Highly Sensitive to Homeowners-Insurance Cost
Given Cheyenne's real, documented position within a regional 'hail alley' and its most-cited homeowners insurance figure (~$3,205/year) running meaningfully above both Wyoming's statewide average and this project's national comparison figure, movers highly sensitive to insurance cost should budget for this directly and get an actual, current quote before committing.
Anyone Requiring Convenient In-City Major-Airport Access
Given Cheyenne Regional Airport's limited commercial service and the roughly 90-100-mile, 1-hour-38-minute drive to Denver International, movers requiring frequent, convenient major-airport access should weigh this real, structural difference directly.
Anyone Requiring a Single, Precise, Undisputed Crime-Rate or Cost-of-Living Figure
Given this record's disclosed cross-source tensions on Cheyenne's crime rate (a source's own '56.53% above national' framing versus this project's own recurring national comparison figure) and cost-of-living index (89 to 106 across citations reviewed), movers requiring strong confidence in one clean, undisputed number should research current, address-specific data directly.
Key takeaways
- Not the best fit for movers seeking a dramatically below-national-median housing market, given Cheyenne's only modestly below-national typical home value.
- Not the best fit for movers highly sensitive to homeowners-insurance cost, given Cheyenne's real, documented hail-alley exposure and above-average cited premiums.
- Not the best fit for movers requiring convenient in-city major-airport access, given Cheyenne Regional Airport's limited commercial service.
- Not the best fit for movers requiring one clean, undisputed crime-rate or cost-of-living figure, given this record's disclosed cross-source spreads.
