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 Weston County, WY
Someone shopping for a home in Weston County, Wyoming — including Osage — will find median values around $221,700, well below what many parts of the country command. That lower sticker price is offset somewhat by taxes: the county's 0.681% effective rate sits above Wyoming's 0.563% statewide median and ranks highest among the state's 23 counties. Even so, the median annual real-estate tax bill comes to about $1,510, a sum that stays contained because values here are not steep. Nationally, the picture flips, since the 0.794% median rate exceeds Weston County's. Households earning a median $89,509 have income that compares favorably against the tax owed, and per-capita income reaches $45,697. Buyers weighing affordability should note that cheaper homes and higher-than-state-average rates can still yield a smaller total tax outlay than a pricier market would.
