Laramie
6.0
High score (8-10)
Cheyenne is Wyoming's largest city and the state capital — 65,000 people is a real population for this part of the world, and F.E. Warren Air Force Base next door brings in military personnel and their families from across the country, consistently breaking the insularity that defines most Wyoming towns. Frontier Days in late July is one of the biggest outdoor rodeos in the country and turns the city genuinely outward for ten days. The combination of government, military, and a capital-city service economy creates more social variety than anywhere else in the state.
Mid score (6-8)
Cheyenne is Wyoming's capital and largest city at about 65,000 people, with F.E. Warren Air Force Base adding a rotating military population that prevents the full insularity of agricultural counties. Frontier Days rodeo in late July is nationally significant and brings outside visitors in. The state capital machinery and military base create more employment variety than elsewhere in Wyoming. The overall feel is still a mid-size conservative Western city — there's a scene here, but it's limited by regional norms.

Cheyenne is Wyoming's biggest city at 65,000 and the most functional social environment in the state, but that still puts it below the threshold for real urban social mobility. The city's economy centers on state government, the military base, and freight — not industries known for creating open social scenes. It's the best Wyoming offers in terms of population density and variety, but that's a constrained benchmark. A man with options in actual cities would find Cheyenne limiting quickly.
