Henderson, NV population, income and ZIP codes

Henderson city is a mid-size city in Nevada, with 324,523 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #2 of 133 ranked by population — larger than 99% of them. The median age here is 42.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. At this size the Census also publishes one-year estimates; the five-year values used here are steadier and let you compare against smaller neighbours on the same basis.

Households in Henderson city earn a median of $88,654 a year, 12.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 14% above the $77,794 median for the 66 Nevada cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 8.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Henderson city is valued at $465,000, 53.3% above the national figure and 29% above the $360,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,750 a month, 24.5% above the national figure, or roughly $21,000 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23.7% 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 5.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 65.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

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.
