A house is the biggest purchase most people ever make, and in a metro as varied as Las Vegas, the ZIP code matters as much as the floor plan. This map puts crime rates, home prices, rents, and household income for every ZIP code in the valley side by side, so you can vet a neighborhood before you commit to a mortgage. The numbers come straight from LVMPD, the U.S. Census Bureau, HUD, and Zillow — the same sources agents and appraisers use, just on one screen.
Home values here span a wide range. Zillow's Home Value Index (ZHVI) runs from under $300,000 in parts of North Las Vegas and the east valley to over $600,000 in Summerlin's newer villages and Henderson's 89052, with the metro-wide median hovering around $400,000. Color the map by Home Value to see where your budget lands, then switch to the Home Value YoY Change layer to spot which neighborhoods are appreciating and which have gone flat.
Crime rates vary by 10x or more between Las Vegas ZIP codes, so city-wide averages tell you almost nothing about the street you'd actually live on. The high-tourism corridor around the Strip and Downtown (89101, 89109, 89169) skews those averages badly, while the lowest rates cluster in Summerlin (89134, 89135, 89138, 89144) and the southwest valley (89148, 89178). One honest caveat: the crime layer is built on LVMPD data, so cities with their own police departments — Henderson, North Las Vegas, Boulder City — are only partially covered and can look quieter on this map than a true apples-to-apples comparison would show. The map breaks out violent and property crime separately, because a ZIP with lots of car break-ins is a different decision than one with assaults.
A master-planned community on the west side with top-rated schools, trails, and village centers. It's the priciest of the three and consistently posts the lowest crime rates in the metro. If the budget stretches, it's the default answer for a reason.
Green Valley and Anthem anchor one of the most family-friendly parts of the valley. Prices run mid-to-upper for the metro, and crime stays consistently low across most Henderson ZIP codes. Its own city government and services set it apart from unincorporated areas.
The most affordable entry point into the valley, with newer construction in Aliante and ZIP codes 89031 and 89081. Crime varies a lot from one ZIP to the next, so compare 89031, 89032, and 89081 individually rather than writing the whole city off.
The map covers the whole valley: Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, and Boulder City, plus the unincorporated Clark County communities most people assume are cities — Summerlin, Spring Valley, Enterprise, Paradise, Whitney, and Sunrise Manor. Nevada has no state income tax, which is one of the biggest draws for California transplants running the numbers on a move. When you've narrowed things down to a few ZIP codes, flip to the census tract view for street-level detail on income, rents, and rent burden — a single ZIP can hide big differences between its north and south ends.
