Wyoming is a somewhat small city located in the state of Ohio. With a population of 8,305 people and two constituent neighborhoods, Wyoming is the 221st largest community in Ohio.

Wyoming is a decidedly white-collar city, with fully 94.44% of the workforce employed in white-collar jobs, well above the national average. Overall, Wyoming is a city of professionals, managers, and sales and office workers. There are especially a lot of people living in Wyoming who work in management occupations (19.07%), sales jobs (13.91%), and teaching (9.73%).

And if you like science, one thing you'll find is that Wyoming has lots of scientists living in town - whether they be life scientists, physical scientists (like astronomers), or social scientists (like geographers!). So, if you're scientific-minded, you might like it here too.

Also of interest is that Wyoming has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.

In addition, Wyoming is home to many people who could be described as "urban sophisticates." Urban sophisticates are people who are both educated and wealthy, and thus tend to be older, richer, and more established than young professionals. "Urban sophisticates" is not just about being educated and well-off financially: it is a point of view and state of mind, one that you might call 'urbaneness.' But such people can and do regularly live in small towns, suburbs and rural areas, as well as in big cities. They read, support the arts and high-end shops, and love travel.

Because of many things, Wyoming is a great place for families with children to consider. First of all, many other families with children live here, making Wyoming a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families, as well as find family-oriented services and community. The city's good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic values. With regard to real estate, Wyoming has a high rate of owner-occupied single family homes, which tends to reflect stability in the local community. Finally, Wyoming's overall crime rate is lower than average for the country.

Wyoming is very much a car-oriented city. This is because the population of Wyoming isn't large enough or dense enough to support an extensive public transit system. It has a lot of rural roads, and the distance between houses can be quite large, which together tends to discourage walking and bicycling to work. 97.67% of residents commute to work in their own car (and the drive is typically to a job out of town). People also tend to drive out of town for other services as well, such as shopping, doctors appointments, and more.

As is often the case in a small city, Wyoming doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
