Sun Valley, NV population, income and ZIP codes

Sun Valley CDP is a mid-size town in Nevada, with 22,697 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #16 of 133 ranked by population — larger than 88% of them. The median age here is 33.2 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 Sun Valley CDP earn a median of $76,108 a year, 3.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of 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 15.4% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Sun Valley CDP is valued at $321,000, 5.8% above the national figure and 11% below the $360,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,161 a month, 17.4% below the national figure, or roughly $13,932 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.3% 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 4.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 72.2% 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.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
