BOOMTOWN: Nevada's Newest FASTEST-GROWING City
If you’ve lived in the area for AT LEAST the last quarter century, you probably remember when Mesquite was thriving, growing, and was quite exciting. In the early 2000’s, Mesquite began to collapse. They shut down the Oasis, then tore it down (for some reason). Local businesses went under, and before you knew it, Mesquite didn’t have much going on. Well, all those things are changing for this small town just outside of Las Vegas.
MESQUITE IS THE FASTEST GROWING CITY IN NEVADA!
According to the US Census Bureau, Mesquite is now Nevada’s fastest-growing city. The city is predicted to continue its rapid expansion, with its population expected to double by 2044. Their population is currently around 20,000 with the average age around 62 years old. 45% of the population is considered a snowbird, someone that only lives in the city during the late fall, winter, and early springtime.
Mesquite has over 2,000 vacant houses, but only 16% of those homes are for sale!
