Moapa Valley, NV population, income and ZIP codes

Moapa Valley CDP is a mid-size town in Nevada, with 6,699 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #29 of 133 ranked by population — larger than 78% of them. The median age here is 36.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 Moapa Valley CDP earn a median of $83,571 a year, 6.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 7% 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 7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Moapa Valley CDP is valued at $360,600, 18.9% above the national figure and within a couple of points of the $360,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,007 a month, 28.4% below the national figure, or roughly $12,084 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.5% 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 4.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 78.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

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.
