Nevada's median two-bedroom FMR is $1,393, well above the $1,018 national median. Most of that gap comes from Reno and Las Vegas pulling the state average up. Storey County has the highest 2BR rate at $1,870, which is striking for a county with just 4,095 people. It's tied to Washoe County next door through the shared Reno metro rate. Pershing County sits at the bottom at $985, with under 7,000 residents and no metro area to lean on. If you're pricing ZIP-level SAFMRs, look hardest at Washoe County. Its rates run from $1,550 to $2,770 across 39 ZIP codes, the widest spread anywhere in Nevada.
5 of the 17 counties sit inside a HUD metro area and share that metro's rate. The other 12 get a county rate built from their own rents. The Nevada median of $1,393 is about 37% above the national median county ($1,018). HUD also publishes ZIP-level Small Area FMRs covering 17 of the 17 counties, which is where the real variation shows up.
