  • Income tracks poverty. The gap from richest to poorest runs 1.7×, and the 8 highest-income counties and independent cities average 9.9% in poverty against 14.0% for the 8 lowest. calculated from Census SAIPE 2024
  • The median county or independent city. Half of Nevada’s counties and independent cities have fewer than 17,267 residents, and half report a median household income below $77,802. calculated from Census PEP V2025 · Census SAIPE 2024

Click a column heading to sort all 17 counties and independent cities. A suppressed estimate (coefficient of variation ≥ 0.30) shows a marker, never a guess. County seats are from Wikidata (CC0), each validated to a Census place inside its county. Where Wikidata has none, the seat comes from the page cited for that county in the seat file, and where the table names no seat, it says why. See the methodology.

A city can reach into more than one county or independent city. The table names the one its center falls in; “+N more” counts the others, from the Census Bureau’s count of each city by county or independent city part Census ACS 2020–2024 place parts. Some Nevada cities are independent cities: each is its own county-equivalent, outside any surrounding county, and the table marks them.
