Housing costs in Las Vegas
The headline number is HUD's Small Area Fair Market Rent for a 1-bedroom, utilities included, taken as the median of 8 ZIP codes within 2 miles of downtown: the same circle the walkability score covers, so the rent and the walkability describe the same place. The metro-wide figure is HUD's rent for the whole Las Vegas-Henderson-North Las Vegas, NV MSA, which is lower in most cities because it includes outlying areas. The Census figure is what current tenants pay inside the city limits.
