How does Wyoming compare to other US cities?

Where Wyoming sits among all US cities (population 1,000+) on each measure, computed live from Census and FBI data.

Household income 95% higher than other cities
Home value 78% pricier than other cities
Median rent 50% pricier than other cities
Safety 77% safer than other cities

National percentiles can mask local variation. Looking only at Ohio, Wyoming ranks #73 of 281 Ohio cities by lowest crime rate - a narrower, more locally useful cut than the national comparison above.

How we calculate these percentiles & ranks

Each percentile compares Wyoming against every qualifying US city; each in-state rank narrows that to Ohio only. Full formula and direction notes: methodology.

Ohio-relative analysis

Bachelor's Degree or Higher is Wyoming's strongest outlier among Ohio cities

Among the 1,196 Ohio cities PlainCities tracks with reported bachelor's degree or higher data, Wyoming ranks #33 - the 97th percentile within the state. This is a different, narrower cut than the nationwide percentiles above: it compares Wyoming only against its own state's cities, not the full US field.
