The Richest Places In Nevada, Latest Census Data Shows
A series of recent studies analyzed and identified the richest cities in a number of states that lie in the geographic Mountain division, such as Colorado, Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming. For this article, the analysis will be for Nevada's richest cities. This study analyzed 134 cities in Nevada with complete data from the Census Bureau, in terms of their median household income, mean (average) household income, median home value, and median property taxes paid per year, to come up with a list of the 15 richest places in the state. Read on to find out what the richest city in Nevada is, plus the top 15 wealthiest cities in the state overall. In order to compile this list of the richest cities in Nevada, we sourced key financial data from the Census Bureau's 2023 American Community Survey. Harnessing these datasets, we put together a scoring system based on four factors to help identify the wealthiest cities in Nevada: The Census Bureau does some interesting things with its data. For certain factors, the Census numbers have upper limits, so there's no exact value for certain factors. When it comes to median household income, the Census Bureau has an upper limit of '$250,000+'. For median home value, the upper limit is '$2,000,000+'. For median property taxes paid, the upper limit is '$10,000+'. Thus, for these reasons, the mean household income (which is the same as average household income) dataset is crucial because the Census Bureau has exact figures for it. All four of these metrics were scored, added up, and then ranked by the cities' combined scores. Census data also categorizes geographies in a particular way that the average person might not conceive of. And it is particularly relevant to Nevada. The Census has a geographic unit called census-designated places, CDPs, which it essentially treats as what people would think of as cities. So, if you see places here listed as cities, it's because they are CDPs and the Census Bureau more or less treats them as cities or towns. You'll find a table detailing the top 15 richest cities in Nevada and their respective dollar figures for each metric, below: The No. 1 richest city in Nevada in this ranking is Crystal Bay, a very small town of only 80 households, on the northern shore of Lake Tahoe. It borders the state line with California. It sits on Crystal Bay across from Incline Village, another city on this list of wealthiest places in Nevada. The median household income in Crystal Bay is over $250,000. The average household income is an incredible $673,626. Not surprisingly, its median home value is in excess of $2 million, which is the upper limit the Census Bureau tracks. And the median property taxes paid by households is over $10,000 a year. The second wealthiest place in Nevada is another Lake Tahoe town, Glenbrook. This town is on the east coast of Lake Tahoe, south-southeast of Crystal Bay. The median household income is $223,942, while the average household income is north of $400,000. Like Crystal Bay, the median home value here is over $2 million. The median property taxes paid per household is over $10,000. Nearly 57% of households earn $200,000 or more a year. The No. 3 richest city in Nevada is Round Hill Village, another town along Lake Tahoe. This place is bigger than the No. 1 and No. 2 cities, being home to 380 households. This town is down in the southeast corner of Lake Tahoe, right near the California border and the aptly named city of Stateline. The median household income is $189,038, while the average household income is $279,816. The median home value here is almost $1.216 million and individual listings can be well over this figure. The median property taxes paid, however, aren't as bad as in the No. 1 and No. 2 cities, at $3,868 per year. The vast majority of the top 15 richest cities in Nevada are located in the vicinity of Lake Tahoe, with one or two in the Las Vegas metro area. You can see in the income figures, however, the imbalance in wealth generated by resort towns in the Take Tahoe area. The home values, even more so, convey the wealth disparity, with many places having median home values well beyond what the typical household income can sustain.

Knight Monsters' Inaugural Season Ends; Mavericks Clinch Western Conference Finals Berth
The storybook season for the Tahoe Knight Monsters is over. After sweeping through their first-ever playoff series, they were handed the same treatment by the Kansas City Mavericks in the Mountain Division Finals. On Friday, the Mavericks completed a sweep of the series with a convincing 6-0 shutout in front of a packed crowd at Tahoe Blue Event Center. Max Andreev opened the scoring for the Mavericks just 1:42 into the first period for a 1-0 lead. In the ensuing minutes, Tahoe had chances to score with a four-minute power play and a penalty shot, but could not solve Mavericks netminder Jack LaFontaine. Cade Borchardt and Jackson Berezowski also scored in the opening frame, helping Kansas City take a commanding 3-0 lead after the opening 20 minutes. Damien Giroux added to the lead just 21 seconds into the second period, and the game was never in doubt. Jake McLaughlin scored the final goal midway through the third period, assisted by Zack Trott. Jack LaFontaine was stellar in goal, stopping all 25 shots he faced to earn his fourth shutout of the 2025 Kelly Cup Playoffs, the most of any goaltender in the league. The Mavericks outshot Tahoe 33-25 and killed off all five penalties they faced to finish a perfect 5-for-5 on the penalty kill. With the win, the Mavericks advance to the Western Conference Final for the second straight season. They will host the winner of the Fort Wayne Komets and Toledo Walleye series at Cable Dahmer Arena, with dates and times to be announced soon. It was a disappointing finish for the Knight Monsters, but the fans at Tahoe Blue Event Center cheered as their beloved team vacated the ice, saluting them for an incredible campaign. The send-off was well-deserved. The Knight Monsters certainly have a lot to be proud of in their first season in the ECHL. Bigger and better things are sure to come.

DEA sheds light on Colorado Springs bust, says they believe cartels are stockpiling fentanyl
The Drug Enforcement Agency is shedding light on concerning details surrounding a Colorado illegal nightclub raid after which more than 100 people who are believed to be in the country illegally were arrested. It happened on Sunday in Colorado Springs. DEA "There was drug trafficking. There was guns. There was prostitution. There was crimes of violence," explained Jonathan Pullen, special agent in charge for the DEA Rocky Mountain Division. According to Pullen, the illegal drugs at the party were supplied by the Sinaloa cartel, and the DEA is putting their foot on the gas when it comes to getting drugs off the streets, especially when it comes to fentanyl. "In fact, we've seized enormous amounts of fentanyl this year," Pullen said. "I actually thought we would seize less. I thought with the border being tighter, we'd see smaller seizures. I was wrong. We have seized so much fentanyl this year." Although deaths related to the drug have dropped significantly in the state and across the country, the presence of fentanyl has increased. "We think there may be some stockpiling happening on the U.S. side from the Mexican cartels, and that's why we're seeing such large amounts right now," Pullen said. This particular bust also included the arrest of more than 100 people thought to be in the country illegally, but Pullen says that wasn't the intent of the operation. "Quite frankly, we were there for the drug investigation," Pullen said. "We didn't ask the illegal immigrants to come." The Trump administration has given the DEA Title 8 authority, which mandates it involves Immigration and Customs Enforcement when encountering individuals suspected of being in the country illegally. It's something the previous administration didn't do but Pullen said has significantly helped. Now, suspected unauthorized individuals from nine different countries, including El Salvador, Venezuela, Honduras and Mexico will potentially face removal from the country. "Our choices previously were to wait 'till the investigation runs its course before we arrest everybody, so we don't tip the whole network off," Pull said. "In the meantime, that person's still selling fentanyl, and it's likely going to kill somebody. Now, we have the option to turn that person over to ICE if they're here illegally, and they can go back to their home country, and they're not selling fentanyl that's going to kill people in Denver anymore." A Fort Carson Army staff sergeant was also arrested on drug charges as part of the bust. Juan Gabriel Orona-Rodriguez was one of approximately 17 active-duty U.S. Army service members present.
