Affordable housing, a strong job market and an even stronger tourist-driven economy have majorly contributed to the rapid growth in the state of Nevada. Beyond the glitz and glamour of metropolitan Las Vegas – the convention capital of the world -- the state offers a large number of family-friendly, safe neighborhoods and communities plus an array of recreational activities ranging from fishing and boating to backpacking in pristine wilderness areas stretching from majestic snow-capped mountain ranges to the illusionary red rock desert. The state also provides attractive financial incentives to individuals, families and businesses to relocate there. Homeowners pay no personal income tax and business owners pay no state corporate income tax. A robust real estate market has kept pace with the steady influx of newcomers. Tourism produces nearly one-third of Nevada’s annual tax revenue. Construction, leisure and business sectors account for nearly 60% of the new jobs, keeping unemployment at 4.2%.
