CHEYENNE Despite losing many people to out-of-state opportunities, Wyoming’s population grew by roughly 2.3% from 2010 to 2020, marking the slowest growth rate in the state since the 1980s, according to preliminary data released Monday by the U.S. Census Bureau.
The initial 2020 Census data shows Wyoming with a residential population of 576,851, meaning the state will remain the least-populated nationwide. In the 2010 Census, the state was reported as having 563,626 residents.
Wyoming’s population has grown in each decennial U.S. Census taken since 1990. However, Wyoming’s growth over the last decade was the seventh-slowest of any U.S. state, according to the state’s Economic Analysis Division, and it was the slowest growth rate in the state since the 1980s, a decade marred by downturns in energy industries in which the state lost about 3.4% of its population.

CHEYENNE Gov. Mark Gordon addressed a range of issues, primarily K-12 education funding and the state’s long-term fiscal outlook, during a media briefing Thursday afternoon, a day after the Wyoming Legislature adjourned from its 2021 general session.
The discussion, which marked Gordon’s first general press conference since late last year, also came a day after Wyoming lawmakers failed to reach an agreement on a K-12 education funding bill, with the House and the Senate reaching an impasse over various issues regarding where to cut within the model, as well as how to use federal stimulus money heading to local school districts later this year.
