Household Average Size by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Nevada

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The Las Vegas metropolitan area in southern Nevada displays significant intra-urban variation, with household sizes ranging from under 1.5 in the urban core—likely reflecting high concentrations of single-occupant units and casino-adjacent housing—to above 3.0 in suburban zip codes on the city's periphery. Northern Nevada's Reno-Sparks corridor exhibits moderately sized households in the 2.2–2.8 range, while several rural zip codes in the northeastern part of the state stand out with notably high average household sizes exceeding 3.0, potentially reflecting family-oriented agricultural or ranching communities. A distinct cluster of deep purple (sub-1.8) zip codes appears in the northwest corner of the state and scattered through central Nevada, corresponding to sparsely populated areas with older or transient populations.
