In Wyoming, if the population is greater than the elevation, it's a city.

Having been through Wyoming many times, Sheridan is more impressive than Gillette.

As a lifetime WY resident, most of us don’t claim Jackson. Definitely the most beautiful town but the politics DO NOT align with almost all of the rest of WY. The median cost of a home should have put it as the worst. 2.1 million says it all.

I grew up in Cody. Lived my first 21 years in WY. Attended/graduated from UW/Laramie some 50 years ago now. After that, 2 years in IN, 5 years in VA, 2 years CA, Finally, 37 years in WA. My family and I vacation regularly in CO. For short stays, I've visited many other locales, including OR, ID, MT, NV, TX, NY, MS, WV, MD, PA, OH, MI, NC, SC, GA, AL, AZ, KS, MO, ND, SD, MN. So, I consider myself well-traveled with a frame of reference that is cognizant of what many states have to offer. Wyoming is a bit of an aberration (compared to the rest of the country). It's a good place to raise children, but it is difficult to make a living there. Winters are long, bitterly cold, and the I-80 corridor has the highest wind energy density of any place in the lower 48 states. That said, would I move back to WY? Yes! -- in a heartbeat. Alas, my young wife is a Filipina and she does not want to face the cold weather in WY. I can't say that I blame her. If I was going to choose today, I'd move to Laramie or Cheyenne -- but not because I consider them the best places in Wyoming. I just enjoy the close proximity to UW and to Denver. I'm a MLB fan. I follow the Mariners (Seattle - AL) and the Rockies (Colorado - NL). And that's why I would choose southeast WY.

About to move to Laramie for law school. Really enjoyed the town when I visited. Can't wait to live there!

Sheridan is every locals dream town to move to in Wyoming and has a cheaper housing cost than the #1 on this list. Gillette is dead place last tied with Riverton, Rock Springs and Rawlings. Jackson isn’t considered real Wyoming anymore because they kicked almost all the native cowboys out. Otherwise, I absolutely loved this video and am impressed with all your facts and footage you shared in this video.

Nice video! Good to see Cody as top pick. I live in nearby Powell, also a great city in Wyoming.

Sheridan is in the top 3 for sure

You finally back after 4 months! I’m patiently still waiting on the Americas video where you rank all of the countries in the Americas from worst to best. I would love to see Africa as well.

We purchased our Cody, WY home two years ago after much study and deliberation as retirement approached. Like you, Cody was the logical #1 choice and we LOVE IT! The town's large and beautifully maintained recreation center allows people of all ages to stay fit. Yes, winters are cold but that's what 401Ks are for . . . snowbird money.

We're BACK! What did you think of this new style of video? *And what's YOUR Favorite City or Town in Wyoming?!*

I knew you were going to say that... I live in Cody and I've been here for over 17 years. We're really trying to keep the Jackson contagion out of here and preserve Cody as a family friendly town rather than a playground for the obscenely rich. The one thing about Wyoming is that is particularly true of Cody... if you're not into the great outdoors, this place is not for you. Urbanites need not apply.

I have lived in casper for 13 years. I moved for one year but the rest i have lived here for practically my whole life. Im 14.

How fun! I was born in Wyoming and my family lived in Cody until I was 10. Loved it. Enjoyed a nostalgic trip back as an adult. Glad you made it #1!

I'll be brutally honest: I've been considerably critical of much of your previous content because even though you did somewhat back up your rankings with certain statistics, a lot of it did feel out of your depth and thus impersonal: thus just not really resonating with me with how cherry-picked a lot of your assertions and observations were. However, I am genuinely impressed by this new approach and new video of yours. I genuinely got the sense you did indeed visit all of these small cities with your ample B-roll, mentioning very specific festivals, restaurants, cafes and other institutions in each of them, and also incorporating ancillary details like closest major city to provide additional context. I highly encourage you to keep making videos with this new approach, this is by far my favorite video of yours to date! 🙂

Third generation Sheridan native, it’s a wonderful city 7-8 months a year but winters can be brutal

I've just discovered your site and I'm happy that you name Casper as a very pleasant location to live in. My wife and I are Frenchies from Nice, French Riviera, and we intend to settle down in Casper, where we spent a fortnight between Dec 20th 2023 and Jan 5th 2024. We enjoyed an extraordinary weather ( +10° C, -10°C) and a light breeze during our stay there. I understand that winters must generally be harsher , but on the whole this place is worth living in! Thank you for this video!

The best thing about Jackson is it is really close to Wyoming. Seriously… right now on Aug. 3, 2024, there is NOT ONE house listed for less than $1 million.

Pinedale, at the foot of the Wind Rivers, is my favorite town in Wyoming.

Every time I watch a video on Wyoming it just makes me want to move there more! I spent 20 summers there in my younger days and loved it. But the wife will never, ever do it: cold, windy, dark, snowy winters...

Welcome back! Great work! I’ve driven through a lot of Wyoming and personally would rather visit than live there. Very interesting though. Looking forward to other states in this series :)

Great video

Cheyenne being close to Colorado is a huge advantage in many ways. 1.5 hour drive to the Denver airport. Only 2 hours away from Red Rocks and several other music venues, Broadway theatre shows, major league sports, actual dining options in Fort Collins and Denver. Laramie is somewhat close as well.

Man, just seeing your in-depth reviews of all these places really makes me feel good, even if I’m still 5 years away from even becoming a legal adult.

Thank you for being back!!

Always look forward to your videos as someone interested in travel and geography as it ties into my intersts of Sociology and anthropology and I'm a aspiring writer so these details helps in accuracy and choosing settings (i even added some of your stories in isolated cities in the US as a story idea itself)

Riverton, Wyoming resident here. I moved to town to work at Central Wyoming College and have lived here 4 years. CWC is one of the highest ranked junior colleges in the country and a fantastic place to work. It has one of the best performing arts facilities in the state with great community music and theatre options. Riverton also has one of the state's best and most challenging golf courses (hosts USGA qualifying), a convenient airport with daily commercial flights, and one of the most beautiful viewscapes of any Wyoming city with the Wind River mountains to the west and the Owl Creek mountains to the north. The crime and substance use statistics you mention are legitimate issues, but I've found the vibe of the town to still be neighborly, friendly, and community minded. Finally, Riverton's Central location in the state allows you to live away from the busy and expensive tourist areas while still being within day-trip driving range of the outdoor playgrounds in all parts of the state. There are a lot of terrific towns in this ranking that are pretty hard to compete with, so I actually don't think it's unfair to rank Riverton near the bottom. I do feel though that the narration paints an unrealistically bleak picture.

Love the video idea! Like we know all about Austin and LA and New York. Tell us about beautiful Wyoming cities with 10,000 people! Yes, do Montana next!

Riverton is in the middle of a reservation. It's not a terrible town. There's a lot of alcoholism and addiction within the tribe. For non-tribal folks it's as good as anywhere on this list.

Excellent video, Interesting + informative + entertaining

I’ve visited all except green river and I can say that I agree with this list. Jackson feels more like Disneyland for adults over an actual city. Every square inch of the city is spotless, rustic and inviting. One of the cleanest outdoor downtown areas I’ve ever seen despite the hoards of tourists.

⁠Wyoming is more about independence and rugged self-determination. It’s an elemental place, where people go to live a simpler life, to contemplate the beauty of a meadowlark son in a nearby field. I fully support anyone who wants the trappings of city life, to move to Denver. Wyoming is far a more rare mentality; one , which embraces the austere beauty of a desert landscape at sunset. Personally, if I were in a position to move back, and out of the entrapped feeling of city life, I would-before my next morning alarm clock’s chime.

The worst city in Wyoming is better than the best city in New York.

I visited Laramie almost 2 yrs ago for a day trip a bit "accidentally". My full day plan in Rockies failed due to a snow storm, so I went to Laramie. Amazing scenic drive from FoCo is a must! The city gave me a "where time stood still" vibe at the beginning, but gotta say it's really nice and slow. People were nice too, happy to help, happy to see a tourist from abroad, asked about my country (Czech) and ready to tell me their stories. Don't miss the Altitude Chophouse & Brewery! Delicious food and beer! I'd like to come back one day.

You gained a new subscriber from Scotland! Great videos😊

As a resident of Wyoming for over 4 decades, I totally agree that Cody well deserves to be #1. Cody is the only town ANYWHERE where I lived once, moved away and moved back again.

From Here to There, This is amazing! I subscribed right away!

Wyoming looks like my kind of state. I hate traffic, I love fishing, and I'm not political. My husky would also love the snow. I'm hoping to move there one day

Hey Mango I know you probably don't want anyone calling you that anymore but I just wanted to say thank you for introducing me to Minecraft and Roleplays in general. You are a legend and Rodrigo says Hi.

Wonderful video! FHTH - 20% off + free shipping! Very cool ! Love the mango tattoo on your hand.

Nice video of the Moose when showing the area around Cody. 👍

This was a very accurate ranking for WY - I have lived my entire 54 years here and in many of these "cities". You pay for the view which means that usually those are the communities with transplants who can afford it because the high paying employment opportunities are limited. There is a reasons for our low population - WEATHER and limited job opportunities (Boom/Bust economy). As a side note- putting Gillette above Sheridan was priceless.

I love Cheyenne. But… The last time I was there I got locked into a traffic jam. A herd of about 100 antelope were strolling down one of the main streets.😆😎😉

Absolutely brilliant video. Thank you!

Thankfully your back! I used to watch your old channel as a kid, And now i watch this as im matured!❤🎉

I'm so happy you're back

I grew up in one of these "cities". When someone got a new deer rifle for Christmas, we'd walk about 3 blocks to the end of the street to sight it in. Nobody paid much mind but sometimes they did come out to jabber for a while.

Welcome back Mango!

Hey! I really liked the vid! I would really love to see some of the OG style videos make a return like Best Cities to live in the US, or the best states :)

Thank you for making my childhood mango ❤

Your amazing video with new style really make us happy.

Your Amazing video with new style will always make every one happy . To be happy is more important than to be successful. intrinsic motivation (new style) or sense of purpose (life goals) contributes to your true happiness.(with or without money)

I don't know how you found out that Cheyenne is the "Biggest little City", but you hit the nail on the head. I live in Cheyenne, and have since 1974. The problem is, Cheyenne is a city, but does not want city things, like mass transit, or any kind of big business or industry, that could bring jobs to Cheyenne. It is a City with a Town mentality. But hey, I like it. Winters can be rough. But not nearly as bad as Laramie.

hi mango Ty for the memories

You're finally back! Also can you do top 10 best countries to live in 2024 (This is just a recommendation)

Been thru & visited WY lotsa times; great peeps mostly! Very windy & good air. Greetings & felicitations from WI! 👋

Lived and raised my family in Cody, only problem was Yellowstone to the west. Too many tourists but still a beautiful small city.

Buffalo Wyo is super cool we love it! Very small town and a lot of historical attractions.

Now you didn't mention my home town of Rawlins! We have the state penitentiary, county jail, city jail and dog pound! The high school mascot, the Rawlins Outlaws is however named after a wild horse. Seriously it was a great place to be raised in the 50s and early 60s.

Well, shit. I was thinking where you are this week, and you're back. Nice to see you back at it, I hope to see more. If it's possible some day, maybe visit Finland for 2-4 weeks, go around and make video what town/city is nice :P 3k like for Montana next? Count me in. Maybe after that you can do Michigan next, since there's some finnish americans.

Cities of Wyoming? Hah good one

I will never forget your voice from all those Minecraft roleplays haha, loved it

My husband is from Casper. We live in New York(upstate, not the city). He still wants to move back there after 21years. Luckily he loves me more. 🙂

I lived in Casper for 2 years. The great thing about Wyoming? Very few fellow Americans.

Great video! Fun fact, Whyoming may be the first state to have a one party legislature

Amazing video

Let's try to rank every city in every state from worst to best.

Here's what I want to know for each location: a.) How's cell service? WWW connection? b.) How long does Amazon delivery take? c.) What's the local gov't corruption situation? Zoning, etc. d.) What's the airport situation? Commuter planes only? Connections? e.) Is 3-phase power readily available? Affordable? f.) How are the local LEO's? Reasonable? g.) How much is land? Housing? I don't thing these type vids really have much utility, unless you're just a tourist.

Bit of a weird video. But I'm all for it. No state shall be forgotten!

My neighborhood in Denver would be the 3rd largest city in Wyoming.

Drinking and cow tipping for entertainment… count me in😁 What! No drinking or cow tipping in Green River?😢 Great review, thank you. Washing State next? 👍🏻

I watched you since I was a kid I used to laugh every day watching ur content I’m a teenager now even though I’ve grown up for some reason I still wish I could see one more video with baby mango

Great mountains and fun place to go camping

Holy!!!!! Your production levels and style are off the charts!!!!

Glad we moved to Gillette a few years back, only wish had done that sooner. Great place and people here. Away from the hustle and bustle of the big city life yet not too far from a Costco or Sam's.

well done for doing that

Amazing video !

Love Wyoming😊

I love how the opening shot is a Union Pacific train. Union Pacific is so important to Wyoming’s history that the date it entered Wyoming was even in Wyoming’s important dates timeline for the last set of the World Book Encyclopedia.

We retired to Laramie a few years ago and love it. Because of UW the town punches above its weight cuturally. My wife, who is originally from Florida, was amazed that the record all time high temperature in Laramie is 94 degrees and that she will never see triple digits again unless we travel to them. Cheyenne is 45 minutes away and Ft. Collins, CO about an hour. That said, Wyoming and Laramie are not for everyone. I have never considered the winters to be that hard but they can be long. If you want big city amenities like a club scene or lots of different ethinc food choices then WY isn't for you.

I can’t put my finger on why these cold weather rural states have very low violent crime rates.

very useful content, love it

MANGO U MADE MY CHILDHOOD AND EVERYTHING IM HERE TO PAY MY RESPECTS BRO AND I SUPPORT U AND I LOVED THR ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE I USED TO LOVE UR CHANNEL WHEN I WAS LITTLE, ANYWAYS ✌️

We've been to Sheridan and enjoyed it. Very nice town.

I would rather live in Riverton than ANY place east of the Mississippi.

You kinda sound like a KZfaqr I loved to watch as a kid called mango tango

I was stationed in Powell, Wyoming on temporary duty for 90 days when I was in the USAF. During that time I visited Cody, Sheridan, and Gillette, along with, of course, Yellowstone Nat'l Park.

I still like Douglas. Small, nice folks, used to have a fine drag strip, but lots of badlands and close to Glendo. Jobs and investment opportinity come and go rapidly though.

Have you done a video like this about South Dakota? I am very interested in moving there. Thank you for all of the information in this video.

Nah I remember him as mango tango I'm glad he's doing alright for a totally different channel

Lived in Glen Rock , worked in Casper welding 1980 -81 .our daughter was😢 born there. We left when she was 3mos old. She's never been out there since to see it. Wish we never had left.

Say what you will about Riverton, the hospital there saved my life. They sent me to Casper instead of attempting to amputate my leg themselves.

the wife and myself love cody and also termoplisis fishing.

Lived in Cheyenne for 4 hrs. Bitter winters, but a great to live if you l8ke the outdoors. Hunting, fishing, camping. Frontier Days is outstanding.

Not exactly the same, live in Western Colorado (Crested Butte in specific), but this is by far my favorite video of yours yet. I get the feeling that you really get that not really country but not really city vibe especially well. I would love to see more videos like this, if not for Western Colorado (since I know that can be at times hard to define), then maybe some of the other mountain states.

I CHEERED SO LOUD WHEN I SAW U UPLOAD!!! ILY MANGO!!! #Maui2024

I was born in Sheridan and have spent most of my life here. Unfortunately it's not nearly as good as it used to be. It used to be a decent, quiet town with friendly people. I could walk down almost any street or alley and feel comfortable, and that's what I did for at least 1 hour every day before bed. Around 2018 it started to go down hill. So many people started to buy dogs and now there's thousands of loud, aggressive, poorly trained dogs in town. There used to be a few of them that I could easily avoid but now it's like every second or third house has a dog that barks at every little thing that moves and then keeps barking long after whatever it was is gone. People also seem to be a lot grumpier now as well. Maybe it's a combination of the massive cost of living increase, more people moving here, the increased noise, or some other source of stress but it's definitely not the same, and I plan to move away as soon as I can afford to, but like you said, it's very difficult to find a good paying job here.

he’s BACK.

Yupp. Visited WY for the 1st time ever last summer and got to Chy, Lar, Riverton and really enjoyed Cody (maybe more than YNP). Thermopolis and the Wind River Canyon did not disappoint.
