Campbell County, Wyoming Eviction Risk: Low

Campbell County carries a county average eviction-risk score of 2.7/10 (Low), the lowest of all 23 Wyoming counties, with 22 counties scoring higher. Spread across 3 cities and a total population of roughly 36,506, the county sits at the far landlord-friendly end of Wyoming eviction laws's risk spectrum. Average rent runs $977 per month, and renters make up just 25.4% of households, which keeps rental-market pressure contained relative to larger metro areas in the state.

That said, the intra-county range of 0.8 to 1.9 is wide enough to matter when you are comparing individual markets. Operating conditions in Campbell County are generally favorable: no local rent control, no just-cause eviction requirement, and a state framework that gives landlords a workable toolset. The county's position as Wyoming's least-risky market is a meaningful distinction for investors evaluating northern Wyoming.

The cities inside Campbell County

The highest-risk city in the county is Wright, which scores 1.9/10, and with a population of only 1,443 it is a small but distinct market. At that score it still falls well within the Low tier, yet it represents a meaningfully different operating environment than the county seat.

Gillette, by far the largest city in the county at 33,431 residents, scores just 0.8/10, making it the most landlord-friendly market in Campbell County and one of the lowest-risk rental markets in Wyoming. The concentration of population in Gillette means that the county average is anchored heavily toward the low end. Sleepy Hollow, a smaller community of 1,632, lands in the middle at 2.7/10. Risk is genuinely hyper-local here: a landlord holding units in Wright eviction risk faces roughly 2.4 times the risk score of one operating in Gillette, even though both properties sit inside the same county.

State-level laws that apply here

Under Wyoming state law (Wyo. Stat. § 1-21-1201 et seq.), landlords in Campbell County must serve a 3-day notice for non-payment of rent or a correctable lease violation, and a 30-day notice to terminate a tenancy at the end of a lease term without cause. Court filing fees run $85 to $175, sheriff lockout fees add $40 to $150, and attorney fees typically range from $500 to $2,500 depending on case complexity. An uncontested case resolves in roughly 21 to 45 days; contested matters extend to 45 to 100 days. Landlords researching timelines in detail should review the Wyoming eviction process guide for current procedural requirements. Wyoming imposes no rent cap and no just-cause requirement for most tenancies, and the state preempts local rent-control ordinances, so Campbell County landlords face no patchwork of local rules on top of state law.

Investors weighing total exposure should also review Wyoming eviction costs alongside the notice and timeline data, since attorney fees represent the largest variable in any contested case and can move total out-of-pocket costs from roughly $625 at the low end to over $2,800 at the high end when filing and sheriff costs are included.

With a poverty rate of 9.6% and renters comprising 25.4% of households, Campbell County's tenant base is relatively stable by Wyoming eviction laws standards; see the city grid above for market-by-market breakdowns across Gillette eviction risk, Sleepy Hollow eviction risk, and Wright eviction risk.
