📝 How we sourced this

Population, income, and housing-cost figures come from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey 5-year estimates (B-series tables). Crime data uses FBI UCR; climate uses NOAA Climate Normals; school counts come from NCES Common Core of Data; permits use the Census Building Permits Survey (BPS). See our methodology page for the full ETL pipeline and OMB / FIPS join keys.

Data Snapshot: Jackpot, NV

Nevada's Jackpot is a small town, with 1,429 residents per the latest Census Bureau ACS figures.

A typical two-bedroom carries a HUD Fair Market Rent of $1,428 per month statewide. Statewide, average monthly utility bills in Nevada run around $190, per EIA 2023 residential energy data. Natural-hazard exposure scores 46.2 out of 100 on FEMA's National Risk Index (Low).

A decision-led reading path

Useful questions to ask of Jackpot's data

How this reading path is ordered

This is not a composite city score. It is a city-specific route through the available public records, ordered for this profile so the page starts with questions the joined data can actually answer. The route here runs from climate and hazard context to schools and households to comparison shortlist to work and mobility; another city can have a different sequence or fewer supported layers because the source joins are not uniform.

For Jackpot, city-specific coverage includes matched public-school count, commute-mode shares. No matched row is reported here for annual population history, FBI reported-crime rates, within-city Census tract profiles, local building permits; the page leaves those layers out instead of substituting a statewide or national value.

1. Climate and hazard context

What physical conditions frame life in Jackpot?

The two sources should not be blended into one comfort or safety score. Use the climate values for baseline conditions and the risk index as a prompt to inspect specific hazards, insurance, and local emergency guidance for a particular address.

NOAA normals put the annual mean temperature at 44.6°F, with 11.4 inches of precipitation. FEMA's state-averaged National Risk Index score for Nevada is 46.2 out of 100. Climate normals describe long-run weather; the FEMA score on PlainCities is a state average of county NRI inputs and combines hazards, exposure, vulnerability, and resilience.

2. Schools and households

What does the education layer cover for Jackpot?

The city has a broader matched school footprint, but count alone does not describe performance, capacity, program availability, or attendance boundaries. This profile deliberately avoids converting it into an unsupported family-friendliness score.

The NCES join finds 3 public schools within the city match. 10.8% of adults age 25+ hold a bachelor's degree or higher in the ACS estimate. These measures answer different questions: the school count describes local institutions, while adult attainment describes residents and cannot be used as a school-quality rating.

3. Comparison shortlist

Which cities make useful reference points for Jackpot?

Use the in-state set to hold state policy and broad price conditions more nearly constant. Use the nationwide size set to ask whether cities with a similar resident count produce different housing, income, or commute outcomes. The income set is a third lens, deliberately separate from population matching.

Within Nevada, the closest population matches are Amargosa Valley (1,408 residents, $55,573 income); East Valley (1,341 residents, $111,932 income); Panaca (1,272 residents, $61,935 income). Outside the state, the closest population matches in this dataset are Coats Bend, AL (1,429 residents); Omao, HI (1,429 residents); Fairmount Heights, MD (1,429 residents). A third, income-matched reference set of 6 out-of-state cities sits in the income neighbourhood chart near the Place Dossier plate. These are mechanical peer sets, not claims that the places share a labor market, climate, culture, or metro context.

Question 4

What does the journey to work look like in Jackpot?

Driving alone is the largest reported mode at 46.2%. A reliable mean commute time is not available for this row, so the mode shares carry the comparison.

Mode share answers how workers usually travel; it does not measure congestion, reliability, distance to a particular job, or the quality of transit service. Remote work has a visible role in the local pattern. That can reduce commute exposure for some workers, but it says nothing about job availability or broadband quality; read it alongside income and housing rather than as a stand-alone lifestyle score.
