Moving to
Winchester.

$1,220/mo median rent

Cost of living works in this city's favor. Median rent sits around $1,220 a month, nothing that raises eyebrows. Solid value overall. Home prices are reasonable, with a median around $302,800. Not a steal, but not intimidating either.

5.6% county unemployment

Unemployment in Clark County is 5.6%, somewhat above the national average of 4.3%. Lining up work before the move is the safer route. That's the county-wide rate; BLS doesn't measure a place this size on its own.

412 violent crimes per 100k, whole jurisdiction

Winchester doesn't have its own police department, so there's no crime rate for it alone. The figures shown are for the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department jurisdiction as a whole, which runs above the national average for violent crime and covers many communities. Individual neighborhoods can differ a lot from that overall rate.

26 min average commute

Commutes run about average, at 26 minutes. Fine day to day, but it adds up over a year, and where someone lives relative to where they work starts to matter. 8 in 10 workers drive to work; 6% take public transit; 7% work from home.

2 hospitals

There are 2 Medicare-certified hospitals inside city limits. They average 2.0 out of 5 on Medicare's star rating.

19% bachelor's degree or higher

This is a working-class city, and college degree rates reflect that. Trades, manufacturing, and service industries tend to dominate the local economy, which is a strength for some fields and a real constraint for others.

5 public schools inside the boundary

There are 5 public schools inside the boundary. The student-to-teacher ratio is 22:1, above the national average of 16:1.

The nearest national park or historic site is Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument (20 miles away). There are 5 national parks and sites within a day's drive.
