Living in Hulett, WY

Crook County

Hulett is a real, current Crook County town in the Black Hills of northeast Wyoming, genuinely distinctive as the closest town to Devils Tower National Monument -- sitting only approximately 9 miles away. This real, direct proximity to one of America's most iconic natural landmarks (the first US National Monument, designated in 1906) gives Hulett a genuine gateway-tourism identity distinct from other small Crook County ranching towns. Hulett's population runs approximately 341 residents (2024 estimate), and housing runs genuinely affordable, with a median home value of approximately $184,900, below both Crook County's own ~$239,100 county median and the roughly $408,776 national figure this dataset cites elsewhere. This record discloses a real research gap on a Crook-County-specific property tax rate, using Wyoming's own statewide 0.53% anchor as the best available proxy, and Wyoming's constitutionally absolute lack of a state income tax applies fully.

The tradeoffs

Pros

A real, genuinely rare gateway-tourism identity as the closest town to Devils Tower National Monument. Genuinely affordable housing below both Crook County's own average and the national median. A real Black Hills setting supporting outdoor recreation and ranching. Wyoming's real, current lack of a state income tax.

Cons

A real, disclosed research gap on a Crook-County-specific property tax rate, Hulett-specific crime, school performance, and cost-of-living data. A genuinely small town population means limited local retail, dining, and services beyond its own core.

Who this fits

Best for: Best fits movers drawn to genuine outdoor recreation and direct proximity to Devils Tower National Monument, those seeking a Black Hills ranching-country setting, and those prioritizing affordability.

Maybe not for you if: Probably not the right fit for movers who need confirmed, sourced local property tax, crime, or school data before deciding, or who want more than a genuinely small local retail and dining base within town.
