More Nevada Residents Are Renting


More Nevada residents are renting their homes compared to ten years ago. North Las Vegas was hit the hardest with a 7.6 percentage point increase in renters from a decade earlier, while Henderson followed with a 4.7 percentage point increase from the decade before. All cities (with at least 50,000 people) in Nevada except Reno experienced a rise in renters--Reno renters fell a half of a percent over the past ten years. According to census data, 34.9% of homes were rented in 2010 nationally, compared with 33.8% in 2000.
