Douglas's median sale price ran $302,000 in 2026 per Redfin, well below the $408,776 national comparison figure this dataset cites.
Affordable rent, a genuinely thin market
Douglas's 2026 rent figures cluster in the $945-$1,216 range for one- and two-bedroom units, though this record discloses a real, wide cross-source spread given the market's small size.
Wyoming's tax structure helps offset costs
Wyoming levies no state individual income tax at all, and Douglas's combined sales tax rate runs a modest 5.0% (4.0% state + 1.0% Converse County).
Key takeaways
- Douglas's housing costs run meaningfully below the national median.
- Rent runs affordable but the small market shows genuine cross-source volatility.
- Wyoming's no-income-tax structure benefits every Douglas resident.
