Nye County, NV

Tonopah, Nevada has about 1,910 people. That count is a 2020–2024 Census average, not a headcount from one day.

A typical home is worth about $143,900.

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 Tonopah. 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 Tonopah'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 Tonopah's bill.

EIA did not publish a 2025 all-grades gas price for Nevada in the table we use.
