Homes in the wildland-urban interface
About 80% of Wyoming’s homes sit inside the wildland-urban interface — roughly 218,000 of 272,000 statewide, according to the SILVIS Lab’s 2020 dataset. Wyoming’s share is among the highest of any state, and it stays high even in the counties with the most homes: from about 81% in Campbell County to about 97% in Sweetwater County.
The five Wyoming counties with the most homes in the wildland-urban interface:
- Laramie County
- Natrona County
- Sweetwater County
- Albany County
- Campbell County
Being in the interface is a description of geography, not a forecast of fire — it captures how close a building sits to vegetation that can burn. These classifications change slowly; the figures here come from the SILVIS Lab’s most recent revision of the 1990–2020 dataset, released February 2025.
