RentCafe cited Jackson's average rent across all apartment types at approximately $3,461/month (up approximately 2.18% YoY, from $3,387) -- nearly 2.8 times Cheyenne's average (~$1,247), more than double Laramie's (~$1,613), and nearly 3 times Casper's (~$1,176), per the same source.
More Than Half of All Rentals Sit at $3,000/Month or Above
Approximately 56% of Jackson rentals cited fall at $3,000/month or above -- the largest single share, and a real, genuine indicator of how compressed Jackson's rental market runs toward its high end.

Deed-Restricted Workforce Rentals May Exist Below Market Rate
As detailed on the jobs-economy topic page, real, current initiatives (including the Jackson Hole Community Housing Trust's 36-unit Nelson Drive project on U.S. Forest Service land and the town's $27 million, 48-unit Flat Creek Apartments) offer real, income-qualified, below-market workforce rentals not reflected in the market-rate figures above. Renters who may qualify should research current eligibility and availability directly rather than assuming only market-rate options exist.
