Like Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota, Wyoming has been relatively isolated from the housing downturn. This is in large part due to the fact that the state did experience overbuilding. Moreover, Cheyenne is projected to have the biggest price increase. It is also the only city on BusinessWeek's list with a population under 100,000.
