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.

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.

.



The Sheridan County population by race and ethnicity is shown in Table II.17.7. The white

population increased by 2.6 percent, representing 95.1 percent of the population in 2018,

compared with the black population, which increased by 150.5 percent and accounted for 0.5

which increased from 1,013 to 1,313 people between 2010 and 2018, or by 29.6 percent.

Housing Production

The Census Bureau reports building permit authorizations and “per unit” valuation of building

permits by county annually. Single-family construction usually represents most residential

development in the county. Single-family building permit authorizations in Sheridan County

increased from 126 authorizations in 2017 to 150 in 2018.

The real value of single-family building permits decreased from 260,801 dollars in 2017 to 257,733

dollars in 2018. This compares to an increase in permit value statewide, with values rising from

331348 dollars in 2017 to 367953 dollars in 2018. Additional details are given in Table II.17.34 as

well as in Diagram II.17.11 and Diagram II.17.12.

considered to have housing problems if they have one of more of the four problems.

1. Housing unit lacks complete kitchen facilities;

2. Housing unit lacks complete plumbing facilities;

3. Household is overcrowded; and

4. Household is cost burdened.

Overcrowding is defined as having from 1.1 to 1.5 people per room per residence, with severe

overcrowding defined as having more than 1.5 people per room. Households with overcrowding

are shown in Table II.17.46. In 2018, an estimated 0.9 percent of households were overcrowded,

and an additional 0.2 percent were severely overcrowded.

case needs are defined as very low-income renters who do

not receive government housing assistance and who pay

more than 50 percent of their income for rent, live in severely

inadequate conditions, or both. Table II.17.50 shows that the

HUD estimated MFI for Sheridan County was $75,800 in

Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS)

The following table set shows Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data.

Housing Problems by Income, Race, and Tenure

Table II.17.51 through Table II.17.56 show households with housing problems by race/ethnicity.

These tables can be used to determine if there is a disproportionate housing need for any racial or

ethnic groups. If any racial/ethnic group faces housing problems at a rate of ten percentage points

or high than the jurisdiction average, then they have a disproportionate share of housing problems.

Housing problems are defined as any household that has overcrowding, inadequate kitchen or

plumbing facilities, or are cost burdened (pay more than 30 percent of their income on housing). ).

In Sheridan County, housing problems are faced by 1,890 White homeowner households, 0 Black

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.

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.17.91, shows the total estimated housing by

tenure for Sheridan County. As can be seen, in 2030

there are estimated to be a total of 9,702 owner and

4,378 renter occupied households or a total of 14,080

households. By 2050 there are estimated to be 10,766

owner, 4,798 renter for a total of 15,564 households in

Sheridan County.

Table II.17.92, shows the incremental housing demand

for Sheridan County. The incremental housing demand

estimates the additional housing stock needed above

the currently available housing stock. In 2017, the

base year, the incremental housing demand is set at

zero and all future years show the estimated stock

needed in addition to the current housing supply to satisfy future demand.

As can be seen in 2030 an estimated additional 857 owner-occupied and 346 renter occupied

households will be needed above current 2016 housing levels to address future household

demand. The incremental housing demand is also reported by income breakdown. In 2050, it is

estimated Sheridan County will see an additional 2,687 households, of which 336 are estimated to

have incomes of 0 – 30 percent of Median Family Income (MFI). And additional 555 household’s

above current 2018 levels are expected to have incomes of 50.1 to 80.0 percent of MFI.

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



need for 3,932 owner and 2,242 renter occupied households for a total of 6,175 quality

households.
