Why are Nevada cities popular search for Rentcafe?
The cities in Nevada are known for world-class fun in a smaller urban environment, enough outdoor recreation and job opportunities. But there may be a more complicated reason for Reno and Las Vegas to be popular searches in Rentcafe.
Nevada rents are still hundreds of dollars more than they were before pandemic. The leakage of housing assistance from the Covid era in 2022 and a supply that has not fulfilled demand can lead to the search for live situations that can afford.
For the context, the average rent is $ 1677 in Renault and $ 1.478 in Las Vegas, according to Rentcafe. The average price for renting an apartment in Renault is 27% of the average household income in Nevada (about $ 6.297, according to the US Census Bureau) and Las Vegas is 23%.
The US Department of Housing and Urban Development sets homes at affordable prices such as 30%, or less than one -third, from the gross home income. This means that Nevada’s average housing costs correspond to HUD’s definition of affordable, though only slightly.
However, Nevada rents become inaccessible when a single income supports the household. The average monthly income of a Nevadan is $ 3,307, according to the US Census Bureau. The average single -income household will spend 51% on Renault and 45% in Las Vegas.
How did Rentcafe calculate the ranking?
Rentcafe ranked each city according to four indicators and their average values in 2024 and compared them to 2023. The four indicators are a percentage of availability, pages views, favorite and preserved searches.

Rentcafe then compared with a few previous years to create a comparison of year to year. The most speed has received a maximum of 40 points.
The result for the reviews of the page was calculated by the total number of monthly reviews on the city’s pages for the most in the first month, divided into the total population of tenants in the city in 2024 and comparing it to the harsh values of previous years. The cities with the most views of the page received a maximum result of 30 points in this category.
The result of the favorites was calculated through a common monthly rental lists added to the list of visitors’ favorite for the most in the first month, divided into the total population of tenants in the city in 2024 and comparing this to the harsh values of previous years.
