 The LVRJ had an article today,

Report bumps Nevada overall education ranking from last to next-to-last

So we are not in Last Place, yeah...

The attached Report from UNLV also rated NV on:

the well-being of American Children measured by

Education, Economic Well-Being, Health and Family and Community

Nevada Ranked #47 Overall

Population Growth Driving the Housing Market

The Las Vegas Review Journal had these Statistics.

 18,000 population growth in Las Vegas and Henderson from 2015 to 2016.

 Using a low Average Home Occupancy of 3 people,

works out to 6,000 homes to be occupied by this one years growth.

This does not include North Las Vegas or other areas of Clark County.

Another sign of a Strong Housing Market.
