Wyoming’s population trends show pronounced regional variations, with Laramie County leading at 101,000 residents. The strongest growth is occurring in several rural counties, with Sheridan County and Lincoln County growing by 8% or more since 2020. However, energy-dependent regions face challenges, with Sweetwater County and Carbon County declining by 2.8% and 4% respectively. The state maintains its characteristic low population density, from Laramie’s modest 38 people per square mile to vast counties with fewer than 1 person per square mile.
