Reno, Nevada downtown during winter

29. Nevada
> Median household income: $52,431

> 2015 Unemployment rate: 6.7% (the highest)
> Poverty rate: 14.7% (23rd highest)

Nevada’s median household income of $52,431 a year is not a significant improvement from 2014. Indeed, economic stagnation is a major problem in the state. The 6.7% unemployment rate in 2015 was the worst in the country. While nevada was hit hard by the housing crisis, the state’s home values today are relatively high. The typical home in the state is worth $221,400, compared to the national median home value of $194,500.
