Nevada is a somewhat small city located in the state of Missouri. With a population of 8,205 people and two associated neighborhoods, Nevada is the 99th largest community in Missouri.
Also of interest is that Nevada has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.
One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 8.36% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.
One of the benefits of Nevada is that there is very little traffic. The average commute to work is 17.11 minutes, which is substantially less than the national average. Not only does this mean that the drive to work is less aggravating, but noise and pollution levels are lower as a result.
The percentage of adults in Nevada who are college-educated is close to the national average for all communities of 21.84%: 18.13% of the adults in Nevada have a bachelor's degree or advanced degree.
The per capita income in Nevada in 2022 was $23,028, which is lower middle income relative to Missouri, and low income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $92,112 for a family of four. However, Nevada contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
The people who call Nevada home describe themselves as belonging to a variety of racial and ethnic groups. The greatest number of Nevada residents report their race to be White, followed by Black or African-American. Important ancestries of people in Nevada include German, Irish, English, Italian, and Norwegian.
