Housing & affordability
How it’s calculated →Median rent of $1,262 takes 37% of median household income, above the 30% threshold at which a household is considered cost-burdened.
A median home costs 7.7 times median household income here, well above the historic benchmark, at a level conventionally described as seriously unaffordable.
| Metric | Value | Compared with peers | Source period |
|---|---|---|---|
| Home price to income | 7.70 | Top 5% | 2024 ACS 5-Year |
| Homeownership rate | 19.3% | Bottom 2% | 2024 ACS 5-Year |
| Housing units ±725 | 14,061 | Top 9% | 2024 ACS 5-Year |
| Median gross rent ±$47 | $1,262 | Top 32% | 2024 ACS 5-Year |
| Median home value ±$35,916 | $315,100 | Top 31% | 2024 ACS 5-Year |
| Rent as a share of income | 37.0% | Top 1% | 2024 ACS 5-Year |
| Vacancy rate | 27.1% | Top 17% | 2024 ACS 5-Year |
Both affordability measures come from the same ACS release as the income they are compared with, so the comparison is like for like. They describe housing cost against local earnings and are not a cost-of-living index — transport, groceries, healthcare, insurance and taxes are not included, and a place can look affordable here and still be expensive to live in for reasons this does not capture.
Growth & development
How it’s calculated →No building-permit activity is published for this location by the Census Building Permits Survey.

Climate figures are thirty-year normals, not current conditions. They describe what a typical year looks like rather than what the weather is doing today.
Physical risk
The hazards accounting for most of this area's expected annual loss are earthquake, wildfire and landslide.
Low or minimal exposure: heat wave, inland flooding, hail, lightning, avalanche, strong wind, winter weather, volcanic activity, drought, tornado, cold wave.
Hazard ratings are AreaProfile calculations derived from the FEMA National Risk Index v1.20.0 (December 2025). FEMA publishes at county level. ZIP values are the land-area-weighted mean of the counties the ZIP Code Tabulation Area intersects. Expected annual loss is not allocated below county level. FEMA does not endorse this presentation. Higher physical resilience means lower exposure.
Taxes
AreaProfile does not yet publish tax comparisons. No tax dataset has met the source admission test for coverage, methodology transparency and update cadence, and the product rule is to omit a dimension rather than estimate it. The Area Score is calculated without a tax component and the weighting is documented on the methodology page.
Nothing on AreaProfile is individualized tax advice.
Access
2 major airports lie within 100 miles, the nearest 3 miles away.
| Airport | Code | Distance | Longest runway |
|---|---|---|---|
| Harry Reid Intl | LAS | 3 mi | 14,835 ft |
| Laughlin/Bullhead Intl | IFP | 75 mi | 8,501 ft |
| St George Rgnl | SGU | 110 mi | 9,300 ft |
Airport identity, position and runway data come from the FAA. “Major airport” is an AreaProfile classification — a public-use civil airport with a paved runway of at least 8,000 feet — not an FAA hub designation. Distances are straight-line, not driving distance.
