The Snobbiest places in Wyoming are Jackson and Star Valley Ranch for 2026 based on Saturday Night Science.

There are all types when it comes to being a snob in Wyoming. You’ve got your Wine Snobs, Book Snobs, and, of course, Clothes Snobs. Then there are the Technology Snobs, Car Snobs, and yes, even City Snobsas in, I’m better than you because I live in (insert snooty city here).

How can we tell which Wyoming cities are the snobbiest? By measuring snobby things, that’s how.

We used Saturday Night Science to look at things like expensive homes, high incomes, and overly educated populations by city in Wyoming. These are the criteria you’d argue with a friend over a foodie dinner about who’s snobbier.

After analyzing 31 of the state’s most populous areas over 2,000 people, we came up with this ranking of the ten snobbiest places in the state of Wyoming.

The Wyomingite in these places aren’t snobby, they just know they’re better than you.

Methodology: How we determined the snobbiest cities in the Equality State

Do you think wed just come up with this list willy-nilly? Not a chance – we only use Saturday Night Science around here.

We gathered up all of the places in Wyoming with populations of 2,000 people or more. This left us with a total of 31 places. Then, we looked at each place in terms of these snoot-er-iffic criteria (And no, its not a word. English snob.):

  • Median home price (Higher is snobbier)
  • Median household income (Higher is snobbier)
  • Percent of population with a college degree (Higher is snobbier)

Incomes and college education levels come from the American Community Survey. Home prices come from Zillow.

Turned out this simple criteria was much better at sniffing out the snobby places then more snobby criteria like:

  • Libaries per capita (Higher is snobbier)
  • Museums per capita (Higher is snobbier)
  • Private schools per capita (Higher is snobbier)

From there, we ranked each of our 31 places in each category with scores from one to 31. We then averaged each places ranking into one overall score, where the lowest score went to the snobbiest place in Wyoming. So lets all flip a table in honor of Jackson (with our pinkies up, of course.)

Before you get upset and ruin your blowout or something drastic here, lets remember that this is all in good fun. Would we live in one of these 10 places if we had the chance? Of course, we would.

And it’s not like your real estate agent would ever point out how snobby the town you’re moving to is. We’re here to keep you grounded, even if you’re wearing a monocle.

There You Have It – Now That You’re On Your High Horse

When it comes to snobbery, these places in Wyoming are heading ever upward. Residents in these communities are well educated, well paid, and appear to have all the sophisticated culture and entertainment of an Ernst Lubitsch film right at their fingertips.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

The snobbiest cities in Wyoming are Jackson, Star Valley Ranch, Cody, Cheyenne, Lander, Afton, Gillette, Powell, Pinedale, and Laramie.

One thought on “The 10 Snobbiest Places In Wyoming For 2026

  1. Something funky’s going on here. How do towns with median salaries in the five figures afford houses in the $500,000+ range? I’m wondering if the numbers are being thrown off by just a few snobs with huge salaries and outlandish homes. Does anyone know what the median salary and home price was in the town where Scrooge McDuck had his Money Bin?
