Population Migration Trends
The Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) collects data on drivers who move to
Wyoming and exchange licenses from other states as well as those surrendering Wyoming driver’s
licenses when relocating to a different state. The WYDOT data do not represent a precise count of
migration, as they show only the net change in the number of driver’s licenses, but the data
indicates the general direction of population movement.
The shaded areas in Diagram II.17.3 represents in and out- migration, with the line depicting net
migration. The maximum net migration occurred in 2008 with 359 people entering and the lowest
net migration occurred in 2003 with 139 leaving Sheridan County.
Diagram II.17.3 Migration Trends
The driver’s license total exchanges since 2000 for Sheridan County are presented in Table II.17.4,
and showed a net migration of 2,866 persons over the time period. In 2008, there were a total of
925 in-migrations and 566 out-migrations, for a net-migration of 359 people. In 2019, there were
973 in-migrants, 750 out-migrants for a net in-migration of 223 people.
Over the past five years, there was only one year with negative net-migration in Sheridan County,
which could indicate a generally healthy inflow of people into the county. Since 2015, Sheridan
County has experienced a net growth of 365 persons, creating an overall positive net-migration
trend. Wyoming DOT data indicates that there was a net increase of 223 people in the most recent
year.

Sheridan County II.17.9 Final Report: 3/13/2020
Census Demographic Data Census data is presented in one of four Summary Files (SF). In the 1980, 1990, and 2000 decennial
censuses, the Census Bureau released the full SF1 100 percent count data49, along with additional
tabulations including the one-in-six SF3 sample. The Census Bureau did not collect additional
sample data such as the SF3 in the 2010 decennial census, so many important housing and income
concepts are not available in the 2010 Census.
To study these important housing and income concepts, the Census Bureau distributes the
American Community Survey (ACS) every year to a sample of the population, then quantifies the
results as one-, three- and five-year averages. The one-year sample only includes responses from
the year the survey was implemented, while the five-year sample includes responses over a five-
year period. The five-year estimates are more robust than the one or three year samples because
they include more responses and can be tabulated down to the Census tract level.
The Census Bureau collects race data according to U.S. Office of Management and Budget
guidelines, and these data are based on self-identification. Ancestry refers to one’s ethnic origin or
descent, "roots," or heritage, or the place of birth of the person or the person’s parents or ancestors
before their arrival in the United States. Ethnic identities may or may not represent geographic
areas. People may choose to report more than one race group and people of any race may be of
any ethnic origin. Hispanic origin can be viewed as the heritage, nationality, lineage, or country of
birth of the person or the person’s parents or ancestors before arriving in the United States. People
who identify as Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish may be any race.

Cost Burdens
For owner occupied housing, elderly non-family households are more likely to be impacted by
housing cost burdens, with 24.9 percent of these households having a cost burden or severe cost
burden. For lower income owner households, elderly non-family households and large families are
most likely to experience cost burdens. Some 59.7 percent of elderly non-family and 100.0 percent
of large family households below 30 percent HAMFI face cost burdens or severe cost burdens.
These data are shown in Table II.17.63
Table II.17.64 displays cost burden in renter-occupied households by family status and income.
Renter households tend to be impacted at a higher rate by cost burdens than owner households.
Some 796 renter occupied households faced cost burdens, compared to 1,059 owner occupied
households. Of these, there are 84 renter households with incomes less than 30 percent HAMFI
facing housing problems.

2019 Household Forecast
The 2019 Housing Needs Forecast reports housing demand projections from 2018 to 2050, with
2018 as the base year. Three possible economic futures portraying moderate, strong, and very
strong growth were used to create three forecasts. The strong scenario is the base case, representing
conditions as of today. The moderate growth scenario forecast projects household growth with the
assumption of slower population and employment growth, where the very strong growth scenario
incorporates assumptions of much stronger employment and population growth over the forecast
horizon.
The primary objective of offering three
alternative forecasts is to enhance
planning capacity and to provide
additional tools in order to assist state
and local governments in their
ongoing housing needs assessment,
thereby facilitating informed
discussion about housing demand at
the local community level. These
forecasts prove useful when
interpreting the need for new or
rehabilitated housing and whether
single-family or rental housing
activities might be best undertaken.
All three forecasts span the period of
2018 through 2050 and offer
predictions of the demand for housing.
However, only the strong growth
scenario is report here. The moderate
and very strong scenarios are reported
in the WCDA housing forecast report.
This report uses the modified
population projections based on
projections released from Woods &
Poole Economic, Inc (W&P).
Income categories were calculated
using the Housing and Urban
Development CHAS (Comprehensive
Housing Affordability Strategy) data
and are expressed as a percentage of
area Median Family Income (MFI).
This distribution is assumed to remain constant over the forecast horizon. Table II.17.90, shows the
current CHAS housing problem estimates for the period of 2012-2016. Both the income distribution
and the percentage share of households experiencing housing problems were derived from this
data and assumed to remain constant throughout the forecast horizon. As can be seen there were a
total of 1,975 owner occupied and 1,464 renter occupied households experiencing a housing
problem.

Table II.17.93 shows the Incremental Total Housing Need Forecast for Sheridan County. The
incremental total housing need forecast is calculated by adding the incremental housing demand
forecast with current un-met housing need. Un-met housing need is defined as any household
experiencing a housing problem as defined by HUD. The total housing need shows the broadest
measure of future housing need because it takes into account future housing demand as well as the
current need among existing housing stock. Total housing need does not necessarily mean the
constructions of new units. Unmet housing needs can be alleviated through the rehabilitation of
existing units or by focusing on creating more affordable housing options.
In 2017, the base year, the total housing need set at the 3,488 households, which represents all
households with an unmet housing need that needs to be addressed, such as cost burden or sub-
standard living conditions. In all future years, the incremental housing need forecast shows both
existing need and need based on future demand by income. In 2050, there will be an estimated
