Wyoming overall beats Montana for me. Montana is more beautiful, but Wyoming people are not as arrogant and more down to earth, in my experience, except for Jackson. Most of the residents there are from the east coast and they now think they are locals.
@@alishacollinsrealestate hello, I’m someone who currently lives in North Texas in Wichita Falls and I’m disgusted in recent years. I’ve set my mind to move this time next year to either rural Teton County Wyoming or Swan Valley/Seeley Lake in Montana, just southeast of Kalispell and South of Glacier National Park. I’m utterly unable to decide. I realize that with the areas I’m looking at, I get better cost of living in Montana, it seems more close by coffee shops and restaurants but I’m worried about the place growing too big too soon, I really, truly don’t want to deal with that. I also rather the shear Beauty of the Tetons but I guess my concern is, I’m someone who enjoys little things in life, chilling at a coffee shop, camping out in the mountains and all that, exploring, not a care in the world. But I’m not fond of having to drive over an hour to get coffee or gas even. I mean.. where I’m looking at, the closest gas station nearby according to maps, is UP TO 50 minutes away depending on where I get a place. I drive a 1990’s Chevy suburban and refuse to give it up. I guess I’m asking, do you believe it would be worth it in rural Teton county considering all that? Or not? Also while I’m not very outward about it in person, and I can handle myself for the most part, I’m a gay male, I wonder if Wyoming would be too much worse about that than Montana? I don’t either would have many people cause any problem but I wonder if Wyoming is any worse and if a lot or not so much
I AM A 59- YEAR OLD NATIVE OF SHERIDAN, WYOMING.I AM VERY PROUD OF MY STATE AND WOULDNT EVER WANT TO live anywhere ELSE!!!!WYOMING IS GOD"S COUNTRY!!!!
Geography is what makes Montana and Wyoming different places. Both states are very mountainous. Montana, however, has sort of an ironic name. Montana certainly has alot of high mountains, but 60% of Montana is part of the Great Plains (although it's name is Spanish for "mountain"). Wyoming is more mountainous and has certain features that aren't found in Montana.
@@alishacollinsrealestate You're welcome. For me it's about the details. Wyoming has the Red Desert, Jackson Hole, and the lions share of Yellowstone(part of it is in ID and MT). Montana has Glacier National Park, Pompey's Pillar, and Big Sky Resort.
Thanks for the video . Wyoming and Montana are the only 2 western sides I haven’t been to yet. Been aching to do some road trips and do some exploring very soon!
I will add that in the political category that Wyoming is NOT in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. If you lean conservative this makes Wyoming far and above a better place to live. ☺
Thanks for the video, I am 51 years old and we live in the DFW area of North Texas. I am seriously considering moving to either Wyoming or Montana, either one is better than the traffic and unprecedented growth we have in Texas right now. My wife is concerned about the cold winters, any guidance?
For me, as an out of state hunter, Wyoming has been awesome for delicious pronghorn hunting. Beautiful land & mountain-scapes. And Super friendly people.
This is awesome and I’m leaning towards Wyoming but Montana doesn’t have mandates for healthcare workers and I need to be able to work in a hospital after 30 years of nursing. I’ve been practicing since 1991 but now I am suddenly not allowed to without a vaccine…
So sorry. I feel for you! Casper does have a mandate at the hospital...not sure about every hospital in the state. The Casper hospital is owned by Banner Health.
Before I watch the video, I gotta say I LOVE both states, have enjoyed numerous road trips since being a teen and more recently a couple months ago. Have traveled nearly every corner to each state and everything in between. Beautiful landscape, stunning roads to travel, both are Red States, hence a major reason the states and the cities which make up both, are so clean, so tidy, people take such great pride in their properties. No trash in the road ditches or along the medians, I could go on and on. I witnessed road crews 150 miles in the middle of nowhere, mowing the grass in the median along the Interstate! They care how there state looks. Most of this just observed two months ago. I don’t see the arrogance a few described of Jackson, and I’ve been there a lot. Big Sky, Bozeman and Whitefish in Montana also rock, no arrogance there. Both have a plethora of outstanding towns to hangout, enjoy, maybe call home one day…. Kalispell, Missoula, Red Lodge, are as cool as Cody, Laramie and Sheridan. Both rock the greatest National Parks in the US… Glacier NP, Yellowstone NP, and Grand Teton NP…. Bear Tooth Pass… Going to the Sun road…. Paradise. But I have read over and over and over again, Wyoming is thee best state in the country to retire. Taxes, Inheritance, are major winning reasons as well as financially, Wyoming is likely the most secure/stable in the US. Those things matter. On to the video….
Try living in NYC. Ugh…. 8 million people in the immediate area. If I weren’t married, I’d look to move to Wyoming. I’d first have to scout it out. I never even visited. But I’m tired of my blue city. My wife would never move to WY. Too cold, too much snow, too removed from everything she knows. Yup, I would love to consider Casper.
So is either Wyoming or Montana better than Idaho for retirement? I currently live in Cabo San Lucas. Great during winter but too hot during summer. Unfortunately, too many Californians are moving to Cabo and trying to turn it into a rich people's San Francisco. I'm very anti-drugs and have seen the drug addict homeless problem destroy my last town.
I'm curious how the median income compares if you take out the really wealthy near Jackson Hole. How much do they impact the numbers? EDIT: By the way, I've been loving your videos! Thanks for making these :)
Good question! Good statisticians will do a great job removing the "outliers" - it will be interesting to try to discover the impact. Thanks for watching!
Buffalo is a great area to live, work, or retire. In the foothills of the Big Horn mountains. Nice climate year around. Beautiful scenery and prairie hills. Buffalo has the largest outdoor swimming 🏊♂️pool in the states. Clear Creek flows through town. Hiking trails along Creek make for good trout fishing 🎣 Rich in history with a museum. Friendly people, and pretty ranches with lots of horses 🐎and cattle. Have a camera 📷with you at all times. Keep the memories ✨💕
I'm a multi-generation Coloradoan, and until recent decades, I would say that Colorado beats both (although I really do love Wyoming and Montana). But since Colorado became californicated, I unfortunately would say that either Wyoming or Montana would beat us (and it really hurts me to say that)...
@@Nordic_Sky Montana has an incredibly high resident student population which puts a dent in the median curve. Too many Wyoming folks battling that results in a exodus.
One more item for comparison. Montana, you are able to permanently register your vehicle after 11 years as well as all motorcycles (regardless of age). Nice not having to pay vehicle registration forever. Montana takes that win.
Colorado isn’t too far away if you need your smoke. The state went to crap when the residents decided to legalize recreational weed in 2012 . Brought a lot of income but also a lot of riff raff. I assume Wyoming doesn’t want that to happen to them
Does Wyoming have community housing sub-divisions where families could live or are communities still scattered all over the place? The state looks bare and barren when driving thru Cheyenne and most part of the state, do you know if the state would plant more tall and leafy trees all over the state soon? Wyoming must invite community builders to come to the state -not just for retirees but for young families as well - who might enjoy the Wyoming living environment. God bless. sep2022.

I'm from Montana and I love it!!......Wyoming ? Not for me.406 all day
Try eliminating Jackson, WY from the math and see where the statistics go regarding median income and home values.

😂if shes concerned don't go. Research. Very windy and cold, green in the West, brown the rest.
It’s very interesting that Wyoming’s highest point(Gannett Peak) & Montana’s highest point (Granite Peak) sound really similar to each other.
Cloud Peak highest
What state you did this video in?
Wyoming
Wish to come and live in wyoming someday
Is there a nice mountain area to live like the tetons but for more of an affordable price
For me, as an out of state hunter, Wyoming has been awesome for delicious pronghorn hunting. Beautiful land & mountain-scapes. And Super friendly people.
We live in Clark, WY, work and shop in MT
Wyoming wins big on property tax , property tax adds up
I love Wyoming! I've been the Casper twice and everybody's friendly there. I would move there in an instant.
Great explanation was prvided on this video! This is great! Thank you for sharing this, hope to see a lot more of these on youtube.
thank you!

Everything you described as a positive is the exact opposite of what we have here in The People's Republic of California.
Try living in NYC. Ugh…. 8 million people in the immediate area. If I weren’t married, I’d look to move to Wyoming. I’d first have to scout it out. I never even visited. But I’m tired of my blue city.
My wife would never move to WY. Too cold, too much snow, too removed from everything she knows.
Yup, I would love to consider Casper.
8 Million! Wow! Yes it does get cold and snows! It may even snow this week! Thank you for watching!
Wyoming has no cities! Only towns!

the difference is Montana is green an wy is gray without Yellowstone theres nothing here .
Yes there IS a difference... Montana is a frozen tundra 9 months a year and Wyoming is a frozen tundra 7 months a year..........
Wish I could live there!

Median already accounts for this. That's why they use median, not average.
So Inland Empire here in Southern California is larger in population than Wyoming. Amazing...I need to move when I retire to this state.
Wyoming is a win with us!! Moving there soon.

If things go well, I will be relocating from southern Idaho to Wyoming in 8 months. I'm getting a Jeep and I will be on my way.
Look me up when you get here! Thank yu for watching!
Thank you, I will do that. Hopefully soon!

California person here. When I move to either CO, WY or MT, I will come as a refugee, not a missionary!
I hope you checked for traffic before walking across the street against that "don't walk" signal.
Montana has no sales tax.
Yes I mentioned that. Wyoming is at 5%! Thank you for watching!
Wyomings income numbers distorted by the hi number of Jackson billionaires.
Changes the average, but not the median.
@@Nordic_Sky Montana has an incredibly high resident student population which puts a dent in the median curve. Too many Wyoming folks battling that results in a exodus.
I'm thinking of moving to Casper. I hear they have the world's only of age goth bad boy warlock boglim rock star youtuber. Yeah buddy. TWU
The biggest difference is the weather.
