Census metric ranks compare all jurisdictions in this snapshot (typically 50 states plus D.C.). Race and ethnicity categories follow Census definitions (e.g., Hispanic origin is asked separately from race). Percentages are shares of total population and may not sum to 100% because of rounding or other groups. State–local tax burden is not a Census figure; see the Tax Foundation link below for 50-state + D.C. rankings (1 = lowest aggregate burden).

Why this state votes this way

Demographics and long-run trends that commonly shape coverage and turnout narratives.

Wyoming's Census profile summarizes population scale, sex composition, race and Hispanic origin, and household income—baseline conditions analysts pair with polling and election returns when they discuss coalitions and regional turnout.

What often shows up in coverage

  • Slower population change can stabilize turnout baselines; campaigns may emphasize persuasion and registration efficiency more than rapid expansion of the voter pool.
  • Demographic profile at a glance: White, non-Hispanic residents are about 82.5% of the population in this ACS snapshot, a baseline often used to frame coalition math and statewide messaging priorities.

These indicators are descriptive context for understanding electoral environments—they do not predict vote shares, winners, or partisan realignment.

Presidential voting history

How Wyoming has voted in two-party presidential general elections on this site: Democratic and Republican nominees with vote shares, and approximate two-party margin (who carried the state follows from the margin).

Context & notes

Least-populous state and a Republican presidential stronghold, with energy and ranching economies central to local identity.

  • Small vote totals mean swings in a single county can look dramatic in percentage terms.
