Falling multi-year filing trend
Wyoming in the thin-volume third
921 FY2024 filings put Wyoming in the lightest third by raw volume (#48); year-to-year swings are noisier, so pair counts with the per-capita band. Chapter 7 liquidations dominate at 69% (upper-third Chapter 7 share); Chapter 13 is 27% - a liquidation-leaning court culture relative to repayment-heavy peers.
On a thin volume book, the 10-year swing (declined 42.5%) can be a few hundred cases - read the year table in absolute counts. 1 district; business filings 78 (Ch.11 14). Unemployment 3.3% (2023).
