Renting in Wyoming
Renting in Wyoming runs genuinely affordable relative to the national picture -- a real rent-to-income ratio well below the national average -- with the same statewide-versus-Jackson divide that shows up throughout this record's housing figures.

Wyoming's statewide median monthly rent ran about $998 in 2024, and the statewide average 2-bedroom rent ran about $922/month as of April 2025 -- both genuinely affordable by national standards, with a rent-to-income ratio around 26%, roughly 7 percentage points below the national rate. City-level medians for a one-bedroom apartment ran about $1,018 in Cheyenne and $764 in Casper in sources reviewed this pass.
Jackson runs a different rental market entirely
Given Jackson/Teton County's extreme home-purchase prices and genuine land scarcity, rental rates there run substantially above the statewide figures cited above -- this record did not find a single, current, reliable Jackson-specific average-rent figure this pass trusts enough to cite as a standalone number, and discloses that gap honestly rather than estimating one. Anyone renting in Jackson specifically should get current, address-specific quotes directly rather than assuming statewide averages apply.
What to confirm before signing a Wyoming lease
Wyoming's landlord-tenant law is administered with less statewide standardization than some states this project has documented -- confirm your specific city or county's current security-deposit handling rules, notice periods, and habitability standards directly with your landlord or a local tenant-resource office before signing, since this record did not independently verify a single, current, statewide security-deposit cap or handling-timeline figure this pass trusts enough to cite as settled.

- City-level one-bedroom medians ran about $1,018 in Cheyenne and $764 in Casper in sources reviewed this pass.
