How to use it

The first five are West Wendover, Caliente, Jackpot, Lovelock, Yerington. A high or low position is not good or bad on its own: low rent can reflect a smaller job market or older housing stock, so look at income and commute too. Use the Compare tab on each city page to see how two places differ across income, rent, commute and education, and check the county page for the local job market.
