Safest Places to Live in Wyoming of March 2025

Last Update: December 1, 2024 • Living •

Located in the western United States mountain region, Wyoming borders Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado, Utah, and Idaho.

With around 585,000 residents (less than 31 of the country’s most populous cities), Wyoming is the least populous state. However, combined with the fact that it is the 10th largest state, it is the second least densely populated state, right after Alaska. The capital and largest city are Cheyenne, which has around 65,000 residents.

Wyoming’s economy largely depends on mineral extraction (coal, oil, natural gas, and trona). However, other important economic fields are tourism, agriculture (livestock, hay, grain, sugar beets, etc.). Wyoming is a rather conservative state and has been traditionally voting for the Republican party.

Ranking Criteria

ElitePersonalFinance extracted the latest data from the FBI crime statistics in the United States. We took violent crime as the main criteria. To get our score, we used this formula:

Crime Score = ( Total Number of Violent Crimes / Population ) * 1,000

This way, safer cities got the lowest score, and those more vulnerable to crimes got higher scores.

The cities that did not report crimes to the FBI and those under 3,000 residents were not included in the list.

Crime Score in All Cities in Wyoming of March 2025

If your city didn’t make our list, you could see our full list of Wyoming cities.

We can’t compare crime rates in small and large cities. That’s why ElitePersonalFinance made a detailed analysis and narrowed the results according to population segments:

  • Under 3,000 Residents
  • 3,000 – 10,000 Residents
  • Over 10,000 Residents

(Other sites don’t include places with under 3,000 residents, but we included them.)

These are the results that we got:
