- Are you ready to make the move to Wyoming, the Cowboy State? The Equality State? Yes, I'm talking about the one and only Wyoming. If you're considering making this breathtaking state your home, let's dive into the heart of the matter - where in Wyoming should you plant your roots? Hi, I'm Alisha Collins from the Alisha Collins Real Estate Team and eXp Realty, and I'm here to help you navigate the exciting journey of choosing your Wyoming haven.
Picture this: The iconic landscapes of Wyoming stretched before you, but which location holds the key to your dreams? As a proud resident of Casper, I'll admit I'm bias, but keep in mind that Cody is also a fantastic contender. Join me as we compare these two incredible cities and unravel the details that will guide your decision.
Population: With over 58,000 residents, Casper shines as the second-largest city in Wyoming, while Cody boasts a cozier population of just over 10,000. The numbers may tell a story, but there's much more to explore.
How are Casper Wyoming and Cody Wyoming the same and different? Casper's sprawling 27.24 square miles offer ample space to thrive. Positioned at the base of the stunning Casper Mountain, this city is a hub of activity with the North Platte River meandering through its heart. If amenities and a larger population are your priority, Casper has the upper hand.
Nestled amidst the Beartooth and Absaroka Mountains, Cody, with its 10.43 square miles, is a picturesque gem. Just 50 miles from the east gate of Yellowstone National Park, Cody's stunning vistas and proximity to nature are unparalleled.
When it comes to median household income, Casper triumphs, boasting a range around 60K. Cody's median income hovers between 52K and 55K. In the realm of home prices, Casper prevails with a median price of $286,000 and an average price per sq ft of $145. Cody's median home price is $517,000, with an average sq ft cost of $237.
While Casper's housing costs tip the scale, the cost-of-living comparison reveals a less than 10% difference between the two cities. Factors like healthcare and groceries even out the equation.
Both cities enjoy Wyoming's enticing state income tax rate: NONE. Casper's 5% sales tax slightly edges out Cody's 4%. The climate battle showcases Cody's lower rainfall (10 inches) and less snow (47 inches) compared to Casper's 13 inches of rain and 70.3 inches of snow.
Casper and Cody share Wyoming's conservative values. While Cody leans slightly more conservative, both cities echo the state's political trend.
Both cities offer an abundance of outdoor activities. Casper's proximity to Casper Mountain and the North Platte River promises hiking, skiing, kayaking, and more. Cody, just 50 miles from Yellowstone, opens doors to unparalleled adventure, surrounded by the majestic Beartooth and Absaroka Mountains.
Casper, a small-town gem with big city amenities, beckons with its diverse offerings. Cody exudes a warm, small-town charm with a vibrant tourist twist. Cody's proximity to Yellowstone National Park lends it an edge in the tourism realm.
The choice between Casper and Cody is a journey worth taking. Whether you're drawn to the urban tapestry of Casper or the outdoor wonders of Cody, Wyoming welcomes you with open arms. Remember, the Alisha Collins Real Estate Team is here to help you find your dream home. Let's make Wyoming the backdrop to your exciting new chapter. Embrace the adventure!

Wyoming has my heart, period!!!!
I'm so glad you feel the same way about Wyoming!
Less wind and snow, better scenery. . . Cody wins this one easily.
Thanks for watching!
Headed back home to Wyoming after way too many years in OR and WA. Moving to Casper in one week! Yea!
I love they way it feels like we are chatting on a walk through town. So beautiful and welcoming. I learned a lot, thank you! 😊
You are so welcome!
Move to Casper!
Cody wins for everything except Casper has the sexy goth bad boy wand maker. TWU
Oh those are wands? I thought they were for something else, whoops.
🪄 TWU
@@alishacollinsrealestate 😂. You're a good sport TWU.
I went to Casper College and loved it! My wife and I were married there and spent about 10 years there. Loved it all but now we're just too old for the snow and cold!
Love Casper College!
I would love Wyoming, and no state tax!
Agreed
Wow !
What a great job articulating your script of info without a hitch.
Very impressive !
Thank you for watching!
Thank you for this video😊
My pleasure 😊
Great insight to both towns, very helpful! Loved my visit to Cody so much we stayed an extra day. Great work! 👍
Cody is a great little community; did you visit Casper as well?
@@alishacollinsrealestate no, not yet…next trip!
@@MrErlin11 Awesome! Let me know what you think!
@@alishacollinsrealestate y
I moved to Laramie 12 years ago from Texas which i love and haven't looked back. But i do like the cold so that is different than many others.
Super good video and informative
Glad it was helpful!
More great information, thanks for doing these!
If I'm planning to visit cities in Wyoming, are there places other than Cheyenne, Laramie, Casper, Gillette, Sheridan and Cody that I should put on my list? These are the names I keep seeing, but I don't want to miss other gems. Thanks!
There are gems all over the state depending on what you are looking for.
Far west has some nice spots just south of the grand tetons
Been to both!
Have to go with Casper!
Beautiful river running right through the city.
🏆
What!…. The Shoshone river runs right through Cody. Putz
Enjoy your Wyoming videos and amount of detail you research and communicate. Interesting how much higher the average price of a house in Cody, which could be another measure of desirability
Thank you so much for watching!
One big selling point for me is how close the ski area is- Casper Mountain and Hogadon Basin ski area seem like a massive asset! Is the drive from Casper to Hogadon sketchy in winter conditions? Seems like a lot of vertical is gained in just a few miles.
It is great having access to our beautiful mountain and all of its amenities Depending on the winter that road does close and get get a bit "sketchy" however we have school busses that go up and down it al the time and really isn't to bad. Make sure you have good tires!
Thank you this helps. These are my top 2 choices, but still hard to choose. The hard part is actually trying to move.
Come visit first!
I know I would lke both, but the wind would be very annoying in Casper, but I like that you have more access to bigger businesses to shop at but still have a smaller town vibe.@@alishacollinsrealestate
@@bradleyeis7319 both great points!
They are very different towns - you really need to spend considerable time in both to compare. Rent a Vrbo for a month (or more) before deciding!
Nice comparison. I've been to Cody more times than Casper and we've stayed in Cody more times because of the nearness to the Big Horns and Yellowstone. We're looking at both Wyoming and Montana for a vacation home. Probably will engage an agent next year.
Thank you so much! I would love to help you look around!
I was born in Cody, but grew up elsewhere. Spent many summers in Cody and the scenery around there is out of this world! World Class Whitney Museum of Art, The Cody Stampede and Night Rodeo, vibrant downtown, and incredible Mid Century homes. I have never been to Casper, but the video of the town looked blah. I do see how the skiing could trump Cody, but still ...
Cody had oil money back in the day, so quite a bit of wealth at one time.
I'm looking to retire in WY. Casper not on my list (too windy) but Cody is. Thanks for the info.
You are so welcome, thanks for watching!
I live in Casper , Its NOT even close - Go to CODY !!!!
Enjoy you very much, was raised at Kortes and now live in Georgia. Something about Wyoming gets in your blood and stays there. I am now 78 years old but if I was a young man you could talk me back to Wyoming, Have wanted to move back for 55 years. If my wife and I was 30 years younger we would invite You and your husband over for a antelope supper in the new house you found for us in the Alcova area. LOL
We have one listed in the Alcova area right now! 😉
Where in Georgia do you live? We have a house near Thomasville Georgia!
I'd personally rather live in Cody, one of the most beautiful places I've been to And having a nightly rodeo to attend throughout the summer, closer to Yellowstone and Jackson Hole, that's my pick. JMO.
Love that shirt. Where can I get one?
I drove through Wyoming 1 time last December. I will never go back.
Not in the summer? lol
Love how she is walking past the jefrey starr store!
It’s so cool, of course!
Stay in your own state please.
Wyoming is Closed
The moose out front should have told you that. ❤❤❤
Do you have any top picks in Wyoming for medical care, especially for retiring age?
Ill bet the fishing is good.
1) The Wyoming State Legislature needs to pass into STATE LAW awarding Service Disabled Veterans who are rated 100% and who hold Permanent & Total status, 100% Property Tax Exemption with NO loopholes designed to disqualify said benefit. Stop thanking us for our service and demand the Wyoming State Legislators to step up and do the right thing for Service Disabled Veterans.
RIP Puff the bearded dragon
I thought he was a magic dragon? 🐉
He's hibernating underground till spring trole!
I like Casper. Is there any good biking in the city limits? Like along the river?
Yes there is a river path that is awesome. Platte River Parkway!
I ride bike
Now about Jackson
Coming soon to a UA-cam near you!
The best place to move to In Wyoming is south dakota
Great information but you could’ve filmed in a better location in the first of the video. Looked like a rundown area of Casper

I am an Egyptian residing in New York, but unfortunately New York has become a city crowded with population and noise, and I think a lot about moving to Casper. Can you help me search for a house to rent? I live in Sinjal Thank you for your time
❤❤❤
Send me an email!
Can you send me your mobile number?

Which one is less prone to natural disasters such as fires, flood and earthquakes? Thanks
Thanks for watching!!
Cody is snuggled up to the Yellowstone caldera- one of the largest super volcanoes in the world. If you go to Casper, you will have a bit more warning if goes off.
@@kateowens45 Girl, don't act like we aren't all going down! 😂😂
She forgot to mention the meth and alcohol issues, not to mention the death rate. So many good people have moved away, leaving the garbage behind. I miss the scenery, but i mean the city workers grabbing their pocket pints and hopping in a city truck at six in the morning is disheartening.
What!? Why are Homes so expensive in Cody?
California house rich sold out and brought their big money here. They paid top dollar for anything with a roof and now few can afford or even find housing.
Please compare Lovell Wyoming to "you pick".
will do!
@@alishacollinsrealestate Maybe Powell, Wyoming??
@@davidl.howser9707 I can do that too!
@@alishacollinsrealestate Well.....I say "thank you very much". : ). My middle name is the same as the town of Lovell. I have wondered whether Henry Clay Lovell was a distant relative of mine.
Wow what a great video explaining all the details! Thank you so much. I can't wait to move out of California to Wyoming. I made so much money here it should be easy to purchase any house I want. Also, it'd be great to bring some Cali culture to Wyoming, don't you think?
I really love our Wyoming culture just the way it is! 🤠🤠🐄🐄
UH OH ... You could be a clone to my favorite Ex. 😉
I'm actually looking in Teton & Lincoln County
Thank you I think! What are you looking for? House wise!?
Cody only 50 miles f E Yellowstone. Where there is a rift in the space time continuum. Its the longest 50 miles you will ever drive.
😄
What's the difference in drug related crime between Casper and Cody? Also, what is the racial count between Casper and Cody, blacks, Hispanics, Asian, white? And finally, my wife and I are interracial, have there been any interracial crimes in Casper and Cody that we should be concerned about? We first started looking in Jackson hole but we're now thinking maybe getting away from all that.
Sounds like I'd love the state of Wyoming. I too, married outside of my race,I guess for lack of a better phrase. We've sometimes gotten some looks too,depending on where we're at. I'm guessing you wouldn't have a hard time in Wyoming, I'm only assuming. It sounds like a great place.
You're not welcome.
@@Iamonepercent your probably right... that's why we're gonna move in right next to your trailer...
@@tgirard123 oh, I hurt your poor little feelings and you lash out like a child. Your best insult is calling someone trailer trash because they live in rural America. Great attitude to have when talking about moving to Rural America.
@Iamonepercent I've lived in suburban areas all my life. I'd much rather live in a more rural setting. Only downside to that is having to drive a long way for a gallon of milk. I like it where it's dark and quiet, and the only lights you see are the light of the silvery moon and the stars.
Go to Casper or Cheyenne. Cody has enough California refugees who think things should be run like California. Our houses have skyrocketed in price because of them. Locals can't afford to live here anymore. You don't want to buy here.
You just made the case for buying in Cody if you can afford it, as it’s obviously a better investment!
Matthew Wayne Shepard (December 1, 1976 - October 12, 1998) No thank you, Wyoming!
Which city has the hottest girls?
Neither...move to Texas
The girls here are usually pretty cold, especially in the winter. Ice flows through our veins. LOL
@@alishacollinsrealestate LMFAO, which city has the cutest girls?
Lol there's basically no women in Wyoming
Wyoming in general kind of stinks for just about all amenities. No Portillo's, Lou Malnoti's Pizza, Costco, No Lexus dealers, No luxury watch dealers. Sorry, my state sucks in many ways but I have access to all things most people desire like good food and great cars.
I detest real estate agents. They are complicit in the californization of Wyoming. As long as they get their fat commission, they’ll ruin everything.
Stop!! Stop with all these videos inviting people here!! True, home grown, born and raised here Wyomingites don’t want more people here!!
Stay out of Wyoming especially California rich people
Will people respect my pronouns if I move to Cody?
Pleeeeze
Only if they are "was/were".
I want to die on the Northfork of the Shoshone River in Cody.
