Carlin city, NV in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Carlin city is a small town in Nevada, with 2,164 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #44 of 133 ranked by population — larger than 67% of them. The median age here is 37 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Carlin city earn a median of $62,232 a year, 20.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 20% below the $77,794 median for the 66 Nevada cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 6.1% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Carlin city is valued at $195,000, 35.7% below the national figure and 46% below the $360,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,211 a month, 13.9% below the national figure, or roughly $14,532 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23.4% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 63.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
