ZIP code 89101

ZIP 89101 is a small city in Clark County, Nevada, with 44,199 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #24 of 180 ranked by population — larger than 87% of them. The median age here is 35.6 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 ZIP 89101 earn a median of $38,653 a year, 50.8% below the national figure of $78,538. 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 27.6% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 89101 is valued at $258,100, 14.9% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs $1,008 a month, 28.3% below the national figure, or roughly $12,096 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 31.3% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 6.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is out of reach on local earnings alone and the ownership market leans on outside income, equity or dual high earners. 19.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

Home values sit at 6.7× median household income, far past the 3.9× national mark, so ownership costs here are set by something other than local wages — second homes, retirees with equity, or commuters earning elsewhere.

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.

ZIP 89101 is tabulated inside Clark County, Nevada, one of 76 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 180 across Nevada. This is a dense urban ZIP, where a single postal boundary can hold more residents than an entire rural county. County assignment on this page follows the largest share of the ZIP's land area, which matters where a delivery route crosses a county line: mail addressed to 89101 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 89101 reports a median household income of $38,653, 49% below the $75,714 county median, and 49% below the $75,764 typical NV ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $258,100, 37% below the county figure and 31% below the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $1,008 a month, which is why it reads higher than the advertised rent on a listing for the same unit.

A taxable purchase made inside 89101 carries 8.375% at the register, assembled from the Las Vegas jurisdiction stack: the Nevada state rate plus every county, municipal and special district levy that reaches this address. Because those district boundaries were drawn for schools, transit and hospital funding rather than for mail delivery, two addresses inside 89101 can legitimately fall under different totals — the rate shown here is the one that applies to the dominant jurisdiction.

Everything above comes from the Census Bureau American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates for this ZIP Code Tabulation Area, with sales tax rates traced to the state revenue agency. Five-year estimates pool sixty months of responses, so they are stable enough to compare 89101 with its neighbours but always trail the current year, and any value the Census suppressed for sample size is shown as unpublished rather than filled in with a model.
