WIC in Wyoming

69.2% coverage

Wyoming's WIC program reaches 69.2% of eligible residents — an estimated 9,000 participants out of 13,000 who qualify. That leaves 4,000 pregnant women, infants, and young children eligible but not receiving WIC's food package or nutrition counseling.

Note: USDA does not publish sub-state WIC participation, so every county in Wyoming inherits the state's 69.2% coverage rate. County-level eligibles are allocated from state totals in proportion to the county's share of low-income children under 6 (ACS B17024). See methodology.
