How this is calculated
The effective property tax rate is the median real-estate tax bill divided by the median home value — both for owner-occupied homes, from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS 5-year estimates)1. Median income is also from the ACS1. Federal and state income-tax figures use IRS2 and Tax Foundation3 data.
About Converse County, WY
Buying a home in Converse County, Wyoming, comes with a median price tag of $292,700 and an annual property tax bill of about $1,630, based on an effective rate of 0.557%. That rate sits just under Wyoming's statewide median of 0.563% and well below the national median of 0.794%, so the tax side of ownership here is comparatively gentle. Douglas, the largest community in the county alongside Lost Springs and Shawnee, anchors much of the local housing stock.

Among Wyoming's 23 counties, Converse ranks 13th by property tax rate, placing it mid-pack statewide. The combination of below-average taxes and home values under $300,000 gives buyers a fairly accessible entry point.
