Dating Pool in Wyoming

What the numbers mean for dating in Wyoming

Wyoming is the least populous state, with about 584,000 residents and an estimated 96,000 women aged 18 to 44 — under 0.2% of the national pool spread across nearly 98,000 square miles. There is no true metropolitan market: Cheyenne, the largest, has barely 100,000 people in its metro, followed by Casper at about 80,000 and the university town of Laramie at 33,000. Jackson, in Teton County, is a world unto itself — a resort economy with extreme housing costs and a seasonal, transient workforce.

The energy and ranching economy gives Wyoming a persistent male surplus of roughly 104 to 106 men per 100 women, one of the widest gaps in the nation, so the raw arithmetic favors women and challenges men. The median age is 39.0, about 30% of women 25 and older hold a bachelor's degree, and only around 28% of adult women have never married — marriage comes early, and single women over 30 are statistically scarce outside Cheyenne, Casper, and Laramie.

A national probability from our calculator scales roughly with a state's share of the US population: preferences matching 1% of US women translate to about 960 women in Wyoming. State demographics like education and marriage rates shift the real figure up or down.
