Campbell County, Wyoming

• Income premium: Households earn well above the national median, supporting strong retail and housing markets.
• Cost of living stretches income further: Local prices run 7.3% below the national average, so the nominal median of $89,869 is worth $96,946 at national average prices. BEA publishes price parity at state level, not county level.
• Talent gap: Bachelor's-or-higher attainment trails the national average by 12.4 pts, relevant for advanced-services attraction strategy.

• Largest private-sector industry: Mining, Quarrying, and Oil and Gas Extraction employs 4,790 workers (30.9% of tracked sectors), at an average wage of $105,573. Every industry figure on this page is private sector; government employs a further 4,952 and is counted separately.
• Economic scale: Regional GDP of $6.6B (2024).
• Wage stratification: Utilities averages $124,802 while Accommodation and Food Services averages $24,035, a 5.2x spread in the same local economy, with implications for workforce development and talent strategy.

• Top specialization: Mining (except Oil and Gas) concentrates at 108.08x the national norm, top-decile concentration, the kind of signature sector that defines a region's economic identity to site selectors.
• Cluster depth: 12 sub-sectors register LQ ≥ 1.5, and no single source of demand accounts for more than 49.8% of the employment across them, the largest being resource and agricultural commodities. Demand reaches this base from more than one market rather than from a single one.

• In line with national: Home value to income ratio of 3.1x sits near the ~4.1x national average; affordability is neither a clear advantage nor a recruitment friction.
• High home ownership: 77.7% owner-occupied; rental supply may be tight for incoming workers.
• Vacancy level: 10.2% of housing units are vacant, below the Wyoming rate of 12.2%, and down from 13.3% in 2019.
• Vacancy composition: the largest vacancy category is units for rent at 33.7% of vacant units, with seasonal and recreational use at 24.5%.
• Genuinely available supply: units listed for rent or for sale are 38.4% of the vacant stock, or 3.9% of all housing units against the 10.2% headline vacancy rate. That is the figure to plan an incoming employer's housing against, and the gap between the two is the redevelopment and conversion opportunity.
• Affordable rent tiers: 2 of 5 HUD Fair Market Rent bedroom sizes sit below what a household on the median renter income of $39,420 can pay without cost burden (~$986/mo), and 44.6% of renter households are measured as cost-burdened.

• Healthy participation: 69.2% labor force participation reflects a steady, available local workforce.
• Short commutes: 21.2-minute mean commute is a quality-of-life and labor-access advantage worth surfacing for site selectors.
• Talent pipeline: no college, university, or technical school is located in Campbell County per the IPEDS institutional directory, so any training pipeline serving it runs through institutions outside the county.
