Overview


Genoa is a very small town located in the state of Nevada. With a population of 1,343 people and just one neighborhood, Genoa is the 43rd largest community in Nevada. Genoa has seen a significant amount of newer housing growth in recent years. Quite often, new home construction is the result of new residents moving in who are middle class or wealthier, attracted by jobs, a healthy local economy, or other amenities as they leave nearby or far away areas for greener pastures. This seems to be the case in Genoa, where the median household income is $116,250.00.

Genoa home prices are not only among the most expensive in Nevada, but Genoa real estate also consistently ranks among the most expensive in America.

Occupations and Workforce

Unlike some towns, Genoa isn’t mainly white- or blue-collar. Instead, the most prevalent occupations for people in Genoa are a mix of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Genoa is a town of professionals, sales and office workers, and construction workers and builders. There are especially a lot of people living in Genoa who work in sales jobs (16.01%), teaching (14.15%), and food service (12.07%).

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 22.51% 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.

Setting & Lifestyle

In addition, Genoa is home to many people who could be described as "urban sophisticates", which are people who are not only wealthy and employed in professional occupations, but highly educated to boot. Urban sophisticates have urbane tastes - whether they reside in a big or small city, a suburb, or a little town. Urban sophisticates support bookstores, quality clothing stores, enjoy luxury travel, and in big cities, they are truly the patrons of the arts, attending and supporting institutions such as opera, symphony, ballet, and theatre.

Genoa is a good choice for families with children because of several factors. Many other families with children live here, making it a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families. The town’s good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic success. Many people own their own single-family homes, providing areas for children to play and stability in the community. Finally, Genoa’s overall crime rate is lower than average for the country.

Residents will find that the town is relatively quiet. This is because it is not over-populated, and it has fewer college students, renters, and young children - all of whom can be noisy at times. So, if you're looking for a relatively peaceful place to live, Genoa is worth considering.

One of the benefits of Genoa is that there is very little traffic. The average commute to work is 11.45 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.

Genoa is a small town, and as such doesn't have a public transit system that people use to get to and from their jobs every day.
