In January 2022, Las Vegas, the state’s largest population center, has an unemployment rate of 5.9 percent, Las Vegas’ unemployment rate decreased from 6.0 percent in December 2021, which is dramatically lower than its sky-high 33.3 percent jobless rate in April 2020.

Unemployment History and Rankings
Housing Index
The Housing Price Index, or HPI, represents the relative movement of housing prices while using the 1st quarter of 1980 as a baseline. The rate of growth for the HPI remains relatively stable until the 2000s where we begin to see prices take off before ultimately plummeting during the Great Recession. This is true for both the nation as a whole, and for Nevada and it’s MSAs (Metropolitan Statistical Areas). However, it can be observed that Nevada actually exceeded the national index in the period leading up to the recession, before dipping significantly below it in the aftermath. Now, both the U.S, and Nevada are seeing significant increases in housing prices, likely due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the state appears as though it may once again match or exceed the nation.
At the MSA level (which is indexed to the 1st quarter of 1995), perhaps the notable trend is the descent of the HPI for the Las Vegas MSA. The area saw the worst of the Great Recession and has consistently stayed below the other MSAs with the Reno area now leading the pack. Outside of that, the MSAs mostly just mirror the state as a whole.
Rent CPI and Mortgage Debt Service Payment as a Percent of Income for the United States
CPI, or the consumer price index, is an index that reflects changes in price for property rentals in the U.S. over time, adjusting for inflation. Here, it can be observed that rent has climbed steadily since the 1980s and has not shown much, if any, sign that it will stop. In fact, it is currently at it’s all time peak of 354.53. Even during the Great Recession, there was little more than a plateau in growth for the U.S. Rent CPI. This reflects continually rising rent costs and decreases in rental affordability.
On the flip side, in the case of Mortgage Debt Service Payment as a Percent of Income there is a clear trend of decline since the notoriously high mortgage rates of the Great Recession. There is also a clear dip in recent years, likely caused by The Fed decreasing interest rates during the beginning stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. In fact, it was in January of 2021 that this value saw it’s all time low of 3.5 percent.
Listing Price
The median listing price for a home in both Nevada and the U.S. as a whole can be seen mostly mirroring each other, with the U.S. consistently trending below the state. This persists until 2021, where median listing price in Nevada begins to soar high above the figure for the nation. This is likely due to an influx of out-of-state buyers who are driving up demand and making higher offers on homes. Currently, Nevada is at a peak median listing price of $459,495, with the U.S. having peaked at $385,000 in June and July of 2021.
Homeownership Rate
Home ownership rate is the rate of homes that are owner occupied. It can be observed that Nevada has consistently trended below the United States on this metric since 1984 (when home ownership rate for the state first started being published).This indicates that the proportion of homes that are occupied by the owner of the home is significantly lower in Nevada than it is nationwide. However, Nevada has been seeing a rate of increase in this since around 2015.
Vacancy Rate
Vacancy rate refers to the proportion of rental inventory that is vacant for rent. Nevada shows a trend of mostly staying above the national level. Particularly, from 1998 to 2015 there was only a 3 year stretch where Nevada’s vacancy rate was not higher than that of the U.S. rate. Some very large spikes can be observed in the state, with peaks being seen in 2002 at a rate of 13.6 percent and in 2009 (coinciding with the Great Recession) at 14.2 percent. Since 2016, however, the state has seen a significant decline in vacancy rate with a level of 5.2 percent as of 2020.
Housing Size
Housing size is simply the median square footing for a home. For this metric, the U.S. and Nevada mostly follow the same trends with notable exceptions occurring near the years 2019 and 2021. The peak for Nevada was a median of 2038 square feet in 2017. The low of 1,742.5 square feet was hit in February of 2021. Interestingly, Nevada is on a sharp upward trend since hitting that low, albeit still not close to the pre-pandemic level that was previously observed.
At the MSA (Metropolitan Statistical Area) level, the Reno MSA has consistently been above both the other MSAs and the state value. However, it has also decreased significantly since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and has settled at a level that is much nearer to that of the statewide. The low for the Reno MSA was a median of 1,835 square feet, which was reached in May of 2021. The peak for the Reno MSA was 2,427 square feet and was achieved in December of 2017. Trends in the Carson City MSA can be observed fluctuating rapidly, with a drastic descent beginning in late 2019 that carried into early 2020 where the area hit it’s low of 1,576 square feet. However, at it’s peak of 2,116 square feet (which was achieved in October of 2016), the Carson City MSA was significantly above the state level and was near to that of the Reno MSA. The Las Vegas MSA very closely matches the movement of the state as a whole, which is logical as that is the most populated MSA in the state by a considerable margin.

People with Disabilities
Information from the monthly Current Population Survey (CPS), sponsored by the Census Bureau and the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), allows us to analyze the unemployment rate of Nevadans with disabilities. Estimates for people with disabilities are available since 2009. Please note that, the CPS estimates in less populous states, are subject to rather large sampling error. Sampling error measures the variation that occurs by chance because a sample rather than the entire population is surveyed.
The unemployment rate of people with disabilities is a simple measure: the ratio of the people with disabilities who are unemployed relative to people with disabilities in the labor force (either as workers or job seekers). CPS classifies persons as having a disability if they have a physical, mental, or emotional conditions that cause serious difficulty with their daily activities.
In mid-2010 the unemployment rate for Nevadans with disabilities peaked at 24.9 percent (expressed as a 12-month moving average). Nationwide the rate peaked at 14.6 percent in late 2011. For the year ending January 2021, the unemployment rate for people with disabilities in the Silver State is 14.7 percent, this is down 10.2 percentage points from mid-2010. In the U.S. the rate stands at 12.9 percent, down 1.7 percentage points from late 2011.
