Gardnerville Ranchos, NV population, income and ZIP codes

Gardnerville Ranchos CDP is a mid-size town in Nevada, with 12,185 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #23 of 133 ranked by population — larger than 83% of them. The median age here is 46 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Gardnerville Ranchos CDP earn a median of $87,971 a year, 12% above the national figure of $78,538 and 13% above 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 9.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Gardnerville Ranchos CDP is valued at $464,800, 53.2% above the national figure and 29% above the $360,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,456 a month, 3.6% above the national figure, or roughly $17,472 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.9% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 77.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
