is a town on the northern edge of Wyoming, very close to what I’d call the middle of nowhere.

  • Role: subject
  • In the article: Potter cites Sheridan as a surprising example: a town of about 18,000 more than 100 miles from any major city or international airport, where basic suburban houses cost close to $300 per square foot, more than his metro Atlanta home. Population grew 18% between 2000 and 2020.
  • Why it matters: It illustrates the thesis that western rural areas face unusually high housing demand.
