The next 1 million people who will live in Southern Nevada are on their way. They are expected to arrive by the year 2060. That’s according to a UNLV report that predicts the population will grow from 2.3 million to 3.3 million in less than 40 years.
The 48-page report, released Wednesday by UNLV’s Center for Business and Economic Research (CBER), is available to the public.
“CBER’s population count, while just a forecast, is vital when it comes to guiding what investments are made today to ensure the success of our community tomorrow,” CBER Director Andrew Woods said.
“It’s important that our community leaders are making decisions utilizing the most recent data, and this report is the perfect example because it shows a 17% increase in projected population from just four years ago,” Woods said.
