WELCOME TO WYOMING
Explore. Grow. Connect.
In Wyoming, you’ll have room to do it all—and at a pace that encourages slowing down to enjoy the scenery, rather than rushing by.
What does it look like to make Wyoming yours? It all starts by filling in the blank.
REal Stories about making the move

Brynn • Laramie, Wyoming
“Here in Wyoming, I got to settle in, and live, and engage.”

Is Wyoming Right For You?
Wyoming offers opportunity, space, and a different pace of life – but it isn’t a one-size-fits-all move. People who thrive here tend to value independence, community, and access to the outdoors. Others may find the transition more challenging.
You’ll Feel Right at Home If:
- You value space, quiet, and access to the outdoors
- You’re comfortable with smaller communities
- You like knowing your neighbors and being part of a community
- You want a lower cost of living and no state income tax
- You’re okay with driving longer distances in exchange for less congestion
- You prefer a slower pace over a crowded, fast-moving city
- You rely on big-city nightlife or constant entertainment options
- You strongly dislike winter weather or long cold seasons
- You prefer dense urban living or public transportation
- You need immediate access to specialized services in large metro areas
- You’re not comfortable with rural or semi-rural settings
Many people who move to Wyoming say the adjustment is worth it, especially once they understand what life here really looks like.
Why Wyoming?
The way you picture exploring Wyoming—likely against a backdrop of the Tetons—only scratches the surface of what it’s really like.
In addition to bucket-list locations like Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks, almost half of Wyoming is public land for camping, hiking, fishing, and hunting.
Fresh air fixes (almost) everything, and in Wyoming, our air is some of the freshest in the nation.
Just about anywhere you find yourself in the 307 (Wyoming’s single, statewide area code), you’ll be in the neighborhood of 30 minutes away—or less—from opportunities to appreciate the “great” in the “great outdoors” year-round.
“Home on the range”—deer and antelope optional—is more than a catchy lyric here.
In addition to exceptional programs that provide incentives to home-buyers, Wyoming offers an affordable cost of living—the 16th lowest in the nation, in fact—and zero state income taxes.
How low? Well, many of your future neighbors are completely comfortable leaving their homes (and maybe cars) unlocked.
That’s just one of the many benefits of living in a state ranked in the top 10 for overall public safety and low violent crime.
Wyoming is a small town with very long streets.
It’s the perfect balance of breathing room and solid backing that you’ll only find in a small town—even in our “big cities,” like Cheyenne and Casper.
Here in Wyoming, “room to breathe” is a way of life.
Our slower pace is an invitation to relax your shoulders, step back from the hustle, and experience the peace of a day well-lived.
The most business-friendly tax climate in the nation
The time to build a stable, fulfilling career in construction and trades, manufacturing, healthcare, or hospitality and tourism is now—and the place to do it is here.
