Wyoming income limit
In most Wyoming counties the USDA Guaranteed Loan moderate-income limit is $119,850 for a 1-4 person household and $158,250 for a 5-8 person household (FY 2025 USDA table, effective 06/18/2025, still in effect for 2026).
Eligible areas in Wyoming
Nearly all of Wyoming outside its small cities — the basins, ranges, and high plains statewide — is USDA-eligible. The urbanized cores of Cheyenne, Casper and Laramie are excluded from the USDA map; their surrounding rural communities generally remain eligible.
Deep dive

A USDA Guaranteed Loan in Wyoming turns on two separate USDA tests: whether the property sits in a USDA-eligible rural area, and whether household income is within the county income limit. Both must hold before a lender underwrites the file.

Wyoming income limits by household size

USDA HB-1-3555 Appendix 5 sets the moderate-income limit per county and household-size band. Across most Wyoming counties the floor is $119,850 (1-4 people) and $158,250(5-8 people). For households above eight, USDA adds 8% of the four-person limit per additional person. The figure is adjusted annual household income after USDA's allowable deductions, not gross pay.

Where Wyoming limits can be higher

Higher-cost metro counties can exceed the $119,850 / $158,250 floor. This precheck applies the national floor when a specific Wyomingcounty row has not been ingested and labels it as a fallback, so confirm the exact county or metro row in USDA's official income-limit PDF.

Checking a Wyoming address

USDA eligibility is address-level, not ZIP-level: one ZIP can straddle eligible and ineligible ground, and boundaries often run mid-street near Cheyenne and other urbanized edges. Enter a complete Wyomingstreet address in the live precheck to geocode the point and test it against USDA Rural Development's ineligible-area layer.

After the precheck

Save the Wyoming address, county, household size, income, and check date. A USDA-approved lender and the Wyoming USDA Rural Development state office confirm the official county row and final eligibility. Income eligibility is not a loan amount — the lender sets that with the 29% PITI / 41% total-debt ratios.

Common questions

USDA loans in Wyoming — answers to the questions buyers ask

What is the USDA loan income limit in Wyoming?
In most Wyoming counties the USDA Guaranteed Loan moderate-income limit is $119,850 for a 1-4 person household and $158,250 for a 5-8 person household, from the FY 2025 USDA table effective 06/18/2025 and still in effect for 2026. Higher-cost metro counties can have higher limits, so confirm the exact county row in USDA's income-limit PDF.
Which areas of Wyoming are USDA eligible?
Nearly all of Wyoming outside its small cities — the basins, ranges, and high plains statewide — is USDA-eligible. The largest urbanized cities — Cheyenne, Casper and Laramie — and their immediate suburbs are excluded from the USDA Section 502 Guaranteed Loan eligible-area map, while the surrounding smaller communities generally remain eligible. Always confirm a specific address, because boundaries can run mid-street.
Is the USDA income limit the most I can borrow in Wyoming?
No. The income limit only screens whether your household is eligible for the program. The loan amount is set separately by a USDA-approved lender using repayment income and the 29% PITI / 41% total-debt ratio guidelines; USDA sets no maximum loan amount.
