The population in the State of Nevada has grown at an astounding rate. It has been the fastest growing state for 19 consecutive years until 2006 when it was edged out by Arizona, per the U.S. Census Bureau. The population increase can be attributed to many factors including a flourishing job market, tax incentives (including no state income tax), warm climate. The list goes on. Whatever the reason for locating here, Nevada is the place to be.
