Population, job market and cost of living

The population growth in Reno in 2018 was 250,998, with a growth rate of 1.58%, and was named number one in job growth.

In the last year, job growth has increased by 4.63% and in ten years, is predicted to have grown by 51.12%. The largest industries are Health Care, Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services. The largest employers include AMERCO, Eldorado Resorts, and Renown Health. Twenty miles east of Reno, the Tesla Gigafactory 1 celebrated its grand opening in July of 2016. Three "blocks" of the factory have been built, which is just 14% of what will eventually be the world's largest building in physical area when it's completed in 2020.

The cost of living is high, due to the Reno real estate market and shortage of houses. With its diverse industries, increasing job growth, warm climate, entertainment attractions, and a beautiful desert location, Reno will continue to attract more people to work and live there.
