Whitney CDP, NV in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Whitney CDP is a small city in Nevada, with 46,268 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #11 of 133 ranked by population — larger than 92% of them. The median age here is 34.8 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 Whitney CDP earn a median of $63,480 a year, 19.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 18% below 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 16.2% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Whitney CDP is valued at $299,700, 1.2% below the national figure and 17% below the $360,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,477 a month, 5% above the national figure, or roughly $17,724 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 27.9% 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 4.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 53.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.
