Cost of living in Amargosa Valley, Nevada

Amargosa Valley, Nevada has about 1,445 people. That count is a 2020–2024 Census average, not a headcount from one day.

The Census Bureau did not publish a typical home value here.

HUD's fair-market rent for a 2-bedroom in Nye County is $1,149 a month. That is the county number, not an apartment listing in Amargosa Valley. It runs from October 2026 through September 2027.

Nevada's prices sit at 100.0 when the U.S. average is 100. This place is not in a metro area with its own index, so this is the state number from BEA for 2024.

Nevada does not tax wages. A typical combined sales tax is 8.2% as of January 1, 2026. That mix is statewide, not Amargosa Valley's exact store tax.

In July 2026, a typical Nevada home paid 12.77¢ per kilowatt-hour. That is a state average from EIA, not Amargosa Valley's bill.

EIA does not publish a Nevada gasoline price. The West Coast (PADD 5) Except California all-grades price was $5.167 a gallon on September 15, 2026. The weekly file does not include that series, so this is the monthly price. At 12,000 miles a year and 25 mpg, the index counts that as $2,480.16 a year. Those miles are our standard, not a Census figure, and every town in Nevada shares this price.
