Newcastle's cited housing figures run substantially below Wyoming's own statewide typical-value figures (~$338,888-$367,664) -- Redfin's May 2026 median sale price ran $170,000, though this record discloses a real, wide cross-source spread up to Zillow's ~$251,139 figure.
A real, low median rent
Newcastle's median rent ran near $850/month per this pass's research, with approximately 70% of residents owning their homes.
Wyoming's tax structure adds further savings
Wyoming levies no state individual income tax at all, and Weston County's own effective property tax rate (0.70%) still runs well below the 1.02% national median.
