Wyoming's Landscape Is Diverse and Different From New York’s

Although New York offers beautiful landscapes itself, the nature in Wyoming is starkly different and entirely unique. If you’ve never been to Wyoming before or have only visited, a move there could mean immersing yourself in a totally different landscape. The state is famed for its plains, mountains, valleys and standout vegetation. Residents of Wyoming never have to worry about running out of natural parks to explore or new areas to visit, given the plethora of options that abound throughout the state. Although there are countless landscapes to visit after settling down in Wyoming, be sure to put the following sites and parks at the very top of your list.

Yellowstone National Park
Devils Tower National Monument
High Plains
Grand Teton National Park
The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone

Wyoming’s Transportation Is Generally

More Car-Focused Than New York’s

If you’re from one of New York’s cities or from the major metropolitan area of New York City itself, you may be accustomed to crowded highways and busy public transportation. In Wyoming, you can expect relatively open roads and low levels of traffic. Although Wyoming does boast 13 national highways, three interstate highways and four major national-serving airports, there is, on the whole, less public transportation in New York and less congestion on the roads. If you’re not a fan of having to sit in traffic, this aspect of Wyoming life could be extra appealing to you!

Wyoming’s Unique and Diverse Jobs Market

Although Wyoming’s market for job opportunities differs in a number of ways from New York’s, there are still plenty of opportunities in a number of strong industries in the state. If you have any interest in working in mining, oil extraction or coal production, for instance, you have good odds of furthering your career with a move to Wyoming. If you’re interested in exploring your options after landing in your new state, be sure to check out the local opportunities in these key sectors.

Crude oil and coal production
Mining and mineral extraction
Life sciences
Healthcare
Engineering and architecture

Enjoy Significantly Lower Overall Taxes Than New York’s

One major boon to anyone looking to become a new Wyoming resident is that the local taxes are generally significantly lower than those in New York. Wyoming, for example, does not impose any state personal income taxes, any taxes on retirement income, including Social Security or private pensions, and no corporate taxes. Furthermore, the sales tax is relatively low compared to most states’ sales taxes at just 4%, and property taxes are similarly in the lower rung nationwide. This means that Wyoming is, overall, a highly favorable climate for those looking to lower their tax bills. If you’re planning on starting a business or retiring soon, you might also find yourself drawn to Wyoming’s tax structure.

Wyoming Is an Ideal Destination for Nature Enthusiasts

If you’re leaving New York in search of a lifestyle that’s more in tune with surrounding natural elements, you could feel right at home in Wyoming. The state is a frequent destination for nature enthusiasts of all stripes and offers a plethora of outdoorsy opportunities throughout the year. To get just a taste, you could:

Go stargazing at the ‘Big Sky’
Enjoy skiing in Jackson Hole
Visit the Old Faithful geyser
Go animal-seeing at the National Elk Refuge
Go hiking in Bridger Teton National Forest

Experience Classic Four Seasons and Beautifully Snowy Winters

Although you might associate Wyoming with constant, year-round chilly temperatures, this stereotype could not be further from the truth. In fact, Wyoming’s climate offers the classic four seasons, much like New York does, but also provides more consistently snowy winters, with often scorching summers to boot. Following a relocation to Wyoming, you could potentially expect to see:

Four seasons with a generally cooler climate than New York
Significant amounts of rainfall year-round
Frequently cold or snowy winters

Wyoming Provides a Safe Environment for Families With Children

Finally, if you’re hoping to move your entire family over to Wyoming, you’ll be happy to learn that the Cowboy State is generally considered a pleasant and safe environment to raise children in. Wyoming boasts a number of highly-ranked, safe cities and generally has crime rates below the national average. In addition, property crime rates have been on the decline in the past several years. If you’re looking for a safe and secure environment with a rustic touch in which to bring up your children, moving to Wyoming might just fit the bill!

From its vast natural landscape to its pleasant family environment to its unique job market and more, Wyoming stands out as a top option for families and individuals looking to head out west. Whether you’re interested in the Cowboy State for its outdoorsy lifestyle or its unique cultural ambiance, leaving the Empire State behind for this underrated gem could be the right move for you.
