How much does it cost to live in Cheyenne, Wyoming?

CostLiving tracks Cheyenne at $1,995 a month on a budget, $3,325 at the moderate tier, and $5,155 for a comfortable single-person lifestyle, with the luxury standard at $7,980. Wyoming’s capital sits close to the US average on the surface, but the tax picture makes it stretch further than the headline suggests: Wyoming levies no state income tax, so more of your paycheque is spendable than in almost any other state, and property taxes are on the low side too. Housing is the main monthly cost and is reasonable for a state capital, with one-bedrooms and modest homes priced well below the big Front Range cities an hour or two south in Colorado. The costs that run a little higher are heating, because Cheyenne winters are long, cold, and windy, and driving, since the city is spread out and car-dependent with limited transit, so fuel and vehicle upkeep are steady lines. Groceries and services are broadly average. The trade-off residents accept is weather and remoteness in exchange for low taxes, cheap housing by regional standards, and quick access to the outdoors.
