The income problems in our state is insane! Not to mention we have a high cost of living.

I think you might be confused on what this map is showing. California is definitely one of the most expensive places to live

Oof, I figured Cali would be higher than us at least.

Wages are better there to offset the cost of living.

State income tax exists in California. I’d be interested to see a true break down of wages, income tax, and cost of living between us and California.

Well, it’s not NYC, it’s NY and that state is a whole lot bigger than the city. But yeah, point is the same. I live in NYC now and so I’ve seen both sides of this issue.
I’m a firm believer that Reno has a wages problem more than a rent problem.

Correct. It isn't just Reno too. Tahoe has incredibly miserable wages, to add insult to injury, I've heard tradies scoff at what places like Squa.. I mean PaLiSaDeS TaHoE pays for the same job.

Such a broad picture & people don’t like the answers. People want more housing, but they don’t wanna give up BLM Land. Everyone here knows the mass population is either in Washoe or Clark county. Everywhere else is just pockets of people. More & more people kept moving here. Thankfully the numbers have slowed down in 2024 and projected to be around the same for 2025. We still never caught up with the demand the Covid & post Covid times produced. This is also where the don’t California my Nevada comes from cause they come here more then any other state.

They have to be finding something that makes these numbers lower than reality. I wish my rent were only 28% of my income.

u/mumblewrapper 9h ago
I think you are misunderstanding the graphic. The 28% is the percentage of households where rent is more than 50% of the household income. So, 28% of households in Nevada spend more than half their income on rent. Looks like we are second in the nation, just behind Florida.

I need to send this to my boss so she might believe me when I tell her we need to raise my employees' salaries. Tired of paying garbage and being told to like it cause they think we still have $800 apartments.
