Section One: Demographic Profile of Rural and Frontier Nevada

Highlights and Key Findings

The current population of Nevada is 2,855,061, including 286,251 residents in the state’s fourteen rural andfrontier counties (Table 1.1).

Over the past four years, the state’s population has grown by 128,243 or 4.5%. During the same period, therural population has grown by 11,895 or 4.2% (Table 1.2).

Population growth between 2010 and 2014 in rural and frontier counties ranged from a loss of 286 or6.0% in Mineral County to a gain of 5,483 or 11.2% in Elko County (Table 1.2).

The population in Nevada is projected to grow from 2,828,794 in 2014 to 3,096,503 in 2024 (9.5%) (Table1.3).

Over the next decade, the population of rural and frontier Nevada is projected to grow by 19,948 or 7.0% –11 rural and frontier counties are projected to increase population, while only three counties are projectedto lose population (Table 1.3).

In both urban and rural Nevada, the population is projected to grow at a slower rate, as compared to theprevious two decades. From 1990 to 2010, the state’s population increased by 1.5 million residents or124.7%. During the same period, the rural and frontier population grew by 107,404 or 65.0% (Table 1.4).

Currently, 10.1% of the state’s population resides in rural and frontier areas, as compared to 89.9% residingin the state’s three urban counties – 2.1 million residents or 72.5% of the state’s population resides in ClarkCounty alone (Table 1.5).

While rural and frontier counties represent only 10.1% of the state’s population, these counties cover 86.9%of the state’s land mass or 95,431 square miles (Table 1.5).

Currently, there are 25.8 people per square mile in Nevada. Population density ranges from 0.3 persons persquare mile in Esmeralda County to 383.0 persons per square mile in Carson City (Table 1.6).

In 2014, there were 10.8 housing units per square mile in Nevada. Housing density ranges from 0.2 housingunits per square mile in Esmeralda County and Eureka County to 163.6 housing units per square mile inCarson City (Table 1.6).

Since 2000, the total number of housing units has increased in both rural and urban regions of the state;rural counties included an increase of 54.3% or 7,819 houses in Lyon County and 35.9% or 5,727 units in NyeCounty – in urban Clark County, the number of housing units increased by 288,002 or 50.9% (Table 1.7).

Between 2000 and 2013, the population of rural and frontier Nevada has grown by 27,804 or 10.9% – sevenrural and frontier counties increased population, while seven lost population (Table 1.8).

Between 2000 and 2013, three of the five fastest growing counties in Nevada were rural and frontier: ClarkCounty (42.5%) (urban), Lyon County (41.6%) (rural), Washoe County (29.6) (urban), Nye County (24.6%)(frontier), and Lincoln County (13.6%) (frontier) (Table 1.8).

In 2013, 1,586,272 (56.6%) Nevadans were residents of an incorporated city, as compared to 1,214,694(43.4%) who lived in an unincorporated town or rural area (Table 1.9).

Only 26.8% of the rural and frontier population in Nevada reside in an incorporated area, as compared to60.0% of urban residents (Table 1.9).

Currently, 24.1% of the state’s population is 17 and under, 62.2% are between 18 and 64 years of age, and13.7% are 65 and over (Table 1.10).

In general, rural counties possess older populations versus urban counties – for example, five rural andfrontier counties have more people aged 65 and over than people 17 years of age and under (Table 1.10).

Between 2000 and 2010, the number of residents aged 65 and over increased in every county in Nevada(Table 1.11).

Between 2000 and 2010, the number of Nevada residents aged 65 and over grew by 97,930 or 44.1%,including an increase of 15,328 residents aged 65 and over in rural and frontier counties (52.2%) (Table1.11).

The number of residents aged 65 and over in Nevada is projected to increase from 385,994 in 2014 to449,428 in 2019 – an increase of 63,434 or 16.4% (Table 1.12).

The population aged 65 and over is expected to increase in 12 of 14 rural and frontier counties over the nextfive years – overall, the number of residents aged 65 and over in rural and frontier Nevada is projected toincrease by 7,272 or 13.7% through 2019 (Table 1.12).

Between 1990 and 2010, the number of residents aged 65 and over in Nevada increased by 192,576 or150.9%, including an increase of 26,925 in rural and frontier counties (151.5%) (Table 1.13).

From 1990 to 2012, the median age has increased in every county of Nevada – the state average increasedfrom 33.3 years in 1990 to 36.3 years in 2012 (Table 1.14).

In 2012, among rural and frontier counties, the median age ranged from 33.4 years in Elko County to 52.8years in Storey County; by comparison, among urban counties, the median age ranged from 35.5 years inClark County to 41.6 in Carson City (Table 1.14).

Between 2000 and 2010, the number of residents aged 17 and under decreased in 10 of 14 rural andfrontier counties in Nevada (Table 1.15).



From 2000 to 2010, the population aged 17 and under in urban counties grew by 156,410 or 30.8% (Table1.15).

The number of residents aged 17 and under in Nevada is projected to increase from 676,377 in 2014 to692,501 in 2019 – an increase of 16,124 or 2.4% (Table 1.16).

For the next five years, the growth rate in the population aged 17 and under in rural and frontier counties( 1.2%) is projected to be lower than urban counties (2.4%) (Table 1.16).

From 2000 to 2010, the population aged 18 to 64 in urban counties grew by 428,642 or 38.0%, as comparedto rural and frontier counties that grew by 23,898 or 17.2% (Table 1.17).

For the next five years, the growth rate in the population aged 18 to 64 in rural and frontier counties (2.4%)is projected to be similar to that of urban counties (3.4%) (Table 1.18).

In general, urban areas of Nevada are more racially and ethnically diverse than rural and frontier regions –for example, 78.5% of rural and frontier residents are white, as compared to 51.3% in urban counties (Tables1.19 and 1.20).

Hispanic residents represent 15.2% of the population in rural and frontier counties and 29.2% in urbancounties of Nevada (Tables 1.19 and 1.20).

Hispanic residents are a growing segment of the population in every county of Nevada – the percent of thepopulation claiming Hispanic ancestry ranges from 5.5% in Storey County to 21.5% in Humboldt County inrural and frontier areas, as compared to a range of 20.8% in Carson City to 30.6% in Clark County in urbanareas (Table 1.21).

The Hispanic population in Nevada has increased from 124,419 in 1990 to 781,886 in 2014 – an increase of657,467 or 528.4% (Table 1.22).

While the growth rate of the Hispanic population has been greater in urban areas (578.3%) of Nevada, thenumber of Hispanic residents in rural and frontier counties has increased by 27,244 or 176.4% in the pasttwenty five years (Table 1.22).

Between 2014 and 2019, the Hispanic population in Nevada is projected to increase by 81,991 or 10.5% –the growth rate in urban counties (10.6%) is projected to exceed that of rural counties (8.3%) (Table 1.23).

Currently, there are 223,504 military veterans in Nevada, representing 7.9% of the state’s population (Table1.24).

There are 32,575 veterans residing in rural and frontier counties of Nevada – rural veterans represent 14.6%of all veterans in Nevada and 11.5% of the total population of rural and frontier Nevada (Table 1.24).



The percent of the population who are military veterans ranges from 7.6% in Elko County to 21.7% inEsmeralda and Mineral Counties in rural and frontier areas, as compared to a range of 7.4% in Clark Countyto 10.4% in Carson City in urban areas (Table 1.24).

According to the Veterans Health Administration, the veteran population is projected to decline in everycounty of Nevada between 2014 and 2024 – over the next ten years, the number of veterans in Nevada isexpected to decline from 223,504 in 2014 to 197,850 in 2024 (Table 1.25).
