Nevada Economic Assessment Project Lyon County Introduction

Preface

This report is intended to assist local, state, and federal agencies in better understanding the communities that we live in. Many of the counties in Nevada are small population, rural areas that do not have a large county government or their own economic development team. It can be a challenge for these counties to have in-depth quantitative analysis to use towards comprehensive planning strategies for the county and local communities. The hope is that this report will be used by local, state, and federal agencies as a tool for future planning, aiming to assist the communities of Nevada. This and sister reports will not only lead readers to better understand their community’s social, demographic, economic, and environmental trends, but will also help model the impacts of population, economic, and industry change.

Gender

Definition Figure 3. Lyon County vs State Comparison, Gender, 2010 to 2017

Gender is the Census Bureau’s method of capturing a person’s sex. In their extended glossary they acknowledge the interchangeability of the terms gender and sex as well as gender being a social construction. At the same time they aim to capture the sex composition of the population.

Why is it important?

Gender is a key metric for advertisers, business owners, and decision makers. Certain demographic surveys maintain that men may gravitate towards certain lifestyles and women others, while other surveys maintain that this is not the case. One of gender data’s more common uses is to acknowledge the gaps, because the general national trend is near a fifty-fifty split.

Race and Ethnicity data is used by advertisers to tailor their marketing strategy to certain groups. Business owners also consult this demographic data to locate their brick and mortar stores in certain areas, and to market to the consumer. One of race and ethnicity data’s main uses is to get an overall scope of the makeup and diversity of the community.

County Breakdown

Like Gender and Age, Race and Ethnicity in Lyon saw little movement from 2010-2017. A 2.8 percentage point decrease in the White category (2010-2017) and a 1.7 percentage point increase in the Hispanic category (2010-2017) make up the most notable changes during this time period.

Definition Figure 9. Lyon County vs State Comparison, Annual Change of Total Families, 2011 to 2017 A household includes all the people who occupy a housing unit (such as a house or apartment) as their usual place of residence. Families are groups of two or more people (one of whom is the householder) related by birth, marriage, or adoption and residing together; all such people are considered as members of one family.

Why is it important?

When used alongside poverty, income, and school district data, households and families data informs decision makers of needs for children and lower income families, as well as the community’s general wellbeing.

Nevada Economic Assessment Project Lyon County Social Characteristics Veteran Educational Attainment

Figure 20. Lyon County vs State Comparison, Seven-Year Change of Definition Veteran Educational Attainment, 2010 to 2017 Educational attainment refers to the highest level of education completed in terms of the highest degree or the highest level of schooling completed. Attainment here is applied to civilian veterans.

Why is it important?

Veteran Educational Attainment data is a good marker for social and personal reform. Education here is a baseline indicator for a veteran’s ability to enter the work force. There are other factors and outliers that must be considered, but as a general assumption: the higher the attainment and the more prevalent the rates above high school, the easier it is for veterans to enter the work force.

County Breakdown

There has been a large increase in veterans with a bachelor’s degree or higher in Lyon County from 2010-2017. The increase has been 47.9% during this span, which far outpaces the state as a whole which increased by 10.3%. Meanwhile, there are fewer Lyon veterans in 2017 with less than a high school degree, and at the same time, because of population changes, there are fewer high school graduates (2,170 in 2010 to 1,817 in 2017).

Definition Figure 21. Census Bureau Weighted Average Poverty Thresholds by Family Size, 2017 The Census Bureau gives the following definition of poverty:

The Census Bureau uses a set of money income thresholds that 1 vary by family size and composition to determine who is in poverty. If the total income for a family or unrelated 2 individual falls below the relevant poverty threshold, then the 3 family (and every individual in it) or unrelated individual is 4 considered in poverty. 5 This definition covers the poverty threshold, but not the poverty guidelines, which are covered more on the next page. 6 7 # of People in Family 8 9+ There are two different poverty levels? $0 $10,000 $20,000 $30,000 $40,000 $50,000 Yes, the federal government has two separate measures of Weighted Average Poverty Threshold poverty. The first is the Census Bureau’s “Poverty Thresholds”. The second is the Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) “Poverty Guidelines”. These are How does the makeup of the household affect each poverty distinct terms with different formulas and different uses.

A two-person household has a lesser monetary level financial eligibility for certain programs. to be considered in poverty than a four-person household in both the threshold and guidelines. The guidelines do not factor in age in the calculations. The thresholds do, on the other hand, factor in age. Both the total number of children and, for one- and two-person households, the elderly, are considered.

The quick answer is no, not within the contiguous 48 states. The poverty threshold has the same monetary level throughout the entire United States for any given year. There is no variation for any state, city, or other area. The poverty guidelines have a single monetary level for the 48 contiguous states and Washington DC, but a separate set of figures for each of Alaska and Hawaii.

Figure 23. Lyon County vs State Comparison, Percent of Veteran and How are the poverty threshold and guidelines calculated? Non-Veteran Populations in Poverty, 2013 to 2017 Both the Census Bureau and HHS update their poverty levels annually using the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U). The thresholds are calculated by updating the original threshold matrix created in 1978 via the CPI-U. The Census Bureau issues preliminary thresholds in January and the final thresholds in September for the previous year. That is, the preliminary poverty thresholds for 2017 were issued in January 2018 and then updated in September 2018 for the final poverty thresholds. This is then used to measure poverty for the calendar year 2017, reflecting the 2017 calendar year price level. The poverty guidelines are issued every January, calculated from the thresholds finalized the previous year. Thus, the 2017 guidelines were issued in January 2017 calculated from the calendar year 2015 thresholds finalized in September 2016. Due to this, the 2017 guidelines are roughly equal to the 2016 thresholds.

This data is a measure of the race and ethnicity of each student in the county’s school district. For the definition of race and ethnicity, please see the demographic characteristics section.

Why is it important?

While race and ethnicity data for the general population is most important for advertisers and business owners, race data for school districts allows local decision makers to get an overall picture of the makeup of schools. Diversity programs improve equality yet, in order to develop a model, this data here should be supplemented with in-person experience of the county. Moreover, poverty data and free and reduced lunch populations should be consulted. Figure 27.

Student Teacher Ratios

Definition Figure 33. Lyon County vs State Comparison, Student Teacher Ratio, 2012 to 2019 Accountability Years Student Teacher Ratio is the ratio of students per one teacher. Kindergarten ratios are based on number of classes, not 25 teachers. Student Teacher ratios are calculated for primary education schools (elementary schools). 6th grade classes at 20 middle-schools are not used in these calculations.

Why is it important? 15

Student teacher ratio data helps counties adjust amount of 10 teachers, amount of classrooms, and allotment of students per teacher. An increase in the student teacher ratio could mean an

Student Teacher Ratio Teacher Student 5 influx of students or a shortage of teachers, among other things, while a decrease could indicate better teacher talent or the need to cut budgets. Data here should be compared with 0 population and employee inflow/outflow in order to strengthen the need or lack of adjustment. For example, if it is expected that a huge group of workers are going to migrate into the community for a momentary project or permanent place of County All Grade State All Grades work, then it will be necessary to see how their children, if applicable, will be integrated into the school system. If, on the contrary, the data shows a gradual decrease in population, then a look at the student teacher ratios might suggest a lowering of teacher employees.

County Breakdown

The student-teacher ratio in Lyon has stayed mostly consistent across all grades from 2012-2018. In 2019, there was a decrease in the student-teacher ratio, where the number dropped from 23 to 17 across all grades. Although each grade saw a decrease from the 2011-2012 school year, 4th grade saw the largest decrease in 2019, dropping five students over the time period.

Definition

Class sizes measure the average number of students per classroom session for primary (middle and high) school classes.

Why is it important?

Class size data allows school boards and teachers to maximize efficiency. Instead of having too many or too few students, the ideal class size is a balance. Trends and yearly measures should be compared to the state level, but rural vs. urban factors should also be considered.

29 | Page Nevada Economic Assessment Project Lyon County Social Characteristics Graduation

Definition

The Graduation rate the rate at which 9th graders graduate by the end of the 12th grade (i.e., the number of students who graduate in four years with a regular high school diploma divided by the number of students who form the adjusted cohort for the graduating class).

Why is it important?

Graduation rate data is a key measure of success used across the state and nation. Graduation rate data shows the effectiveness of the county’s school system, as well as the ability of its students to enter the work force or continue on to higher education. Graduation rate data should also be supplemented with overall education attainment and Figure 35. Lyon County vs State Comparison, Cohort Graduation unemployment rate.

Definition Figure 40. Lyon County vs State Comparison, Unemployment Rate, 2010 to 2017 The unemployment rate represents the number of unemployed people as a percentage of the civilian labor force. All civilians 16 years old and over are classified as unemployed if they (1) were neither "at work" nor "with a job but not at work" during the reference week, and (2) were actively looking for work during the last 4 weeks, and (3) were available to accept a job. Also included as unemployed are civilians who did not work at all during the reference week, were waiting to be called back to a job from which they had been laid off, and were available for work except for temporary illness.

Why is it important?

It is a clear indicator of the health of an economy. A high unemployment rate is usually a sign of a weaker economy with a lack of business and development that would otherwise support its citizens. At the same time, a high unemployment rate does not indicate a lack of participating individuals, because only those who are actively seeking employment are measured. For a further explanation on labor force impacts, see the next page. A low unemployment rate indicates the flow County Breakdown of money, the exchange of goods, and general growth and prosperity. It is important to emphasize general trends rather Unemployment in Lyon County has decreased from 17.5% in than spikes. 2010 to 5.9% in 2017. This has followed a similar trend as the state as a whole. There was a year-to-year decrease in all years between 2010-2017.

Definition Figure 43. Lyon County Total Jobs, 2010 to 2018

A job is any position in which a worker provides labor in exchange for monetary compensation. This includes those who work as employees for businesses (a.k.a. “wage and salary” employees) and proprietors who work for themselves.

Total jobs refer to the number of jobs located in the county.

Why is it important?

Jobs act as an economic baseline indicator for the activity in a community. Jobs indicate money for the individuals and also money for the community, assuming employed individuals are living in the county and there are establishments in the county whereat they can spend their money. While total jobs is a necessary reference point, jobs by industry, jobs by occupation, average earnings, and employment inflow/outflow should all be consulted in order to get an accurate picture for any type of development or future projects.

Definition

Earnings includes wage or salary income (in the case of occupation, wages), net income (gross receipts minus expenses) from nonfarm and farm self-employment, Armed Forces pay, commissions, tips, piece-rate payments, and cash bonuses. Earnings represent the amount of income received regularly before deductions for personal income taxes, Social Security, bond purchases, union dues, Medicare deductions, etc. These earnings are reported per worker by occupation, as compared to per worker by industry.

Why is it important?

Average Earnings by Occupation data is useful for employers and employees gauging the landscape and looking for shifts in the industry that might affect how they proceed with their business or career. Employers can shape their business models around the earnings numbers, and employees can use the numbers as a reference or leverage point.

Definition Figure 50. Lyon County vs State Comparison, Per Capita Income, 2010 to 2017 Per capita income is the mean income computed for every man, woman, and child in a particular group. It is derived by dividing the total income of a region by the total population.

Why is it important?

Per capita income data represents a community’s economic stability and quality of living. A higher per capita income means a higher purchasing power. Consequently, a higher purchasing power means more room for economic growth and expansion. Increased per capita income is roughly a sign of increased wealth. Certain analysts conclude that per capita income is only valid when there is a low amount of wealthy citizens in the community, on the account of outliers distorting the data. Therefore, in order to be as accurate as possible, one should consult household income and family income in conjunction with per capita income.

Definition

Income received by individuals from all sources. It includes income received from participation in production as well as from government and business transfer payments. For subdivision definitions, please see Appendix A: Glossary.

Why is it important?

Personal income data shows quality of living alongside signs of economic prosperity. When compared with metrics like poverty, housing, and personal income from other counties and states, personal income can be used to better assess levels of distribution. While the upmost level measure of personal income can be used to know the year-to-year trends of increased or decreased overall cash flow, the metrics to note are the subdivisions. An increase in earnings by place of work might mean job satisfaction or economic fulfillment. Since Table 52.

The Specialty Trade Contractors subsector comprises establishments whose primary activity is performing specific activities (e.g., pouring concrete, site preparation, plumbing, painting, and electrical work) involved in building construction or other activities that are similar for all types of construction, but that are not responsible for the entire project. The work performed may include new work, additions, alterations, maintenance, and repairs. The production work performed by establishments in this subsector is usually subcontracted from establishments of the general contractor type or for-sale builders, but especially in remodeling and repair construction, work also may be done directly for the owner of the property. Specialty trade contractors usually perform most of their work at the construction site, although they may have shops where they perform prefabrication and other work. Establishments primarily engaged in preparing sites for new construction are also included in this subsector.

The Public Administration sector consists of establishments of federal, state, and local government agencies that administer, oversee, and manage public programs and have executive, legislative, or judicial authority over other institutions within a given area. These agencies also set policy, create laws, adjudicate civil and criminal legal cases, and provide for public safety and for national defense. In general, government establishments in the Public Administration sector oversee governmental programs and activities that are not performed by private establishments. Establishments in this sector typically are engaged in the organization and financing of the production of public goods and services, most of which are provided for free or at prices that are not economically significant.

The official NAICS handbook uses NAICS Code 92 – Public Administration. The above definition comes from that. NAICS 90 was created by EMSI to not only simplify the coding process, but also to handle the data similarly to other respected data entities, such as the BEA, CES, and OES.

EMSI’s reasoning of the change to code 90:

NAICS is intended to classify an establishment’s activity regardless of its ownership (public or private sector) or legal form of organization (proprietorship, partnership, corporation, for-profit, nonprofit, etc.). However, due to the realities of available data, Emsi treats establishments with public and private sector ownership differently. In Emsi data, all establishments in the main NAICS hierarchy are private-sector only — including 611 (Educational Services) and 62 (Health Care and Social Assistance). Thus, Emsi does not use the standard NAICS classification in code 92 (Public Administration). This handling is similar to Current Employment Statistics (CES), Occupational Employment Statistics (OES), and BEA data sources. QCEW is the major data source that does use code 92, because QCEW includes an “ownership code” (private, federal, state, local) in addition to an industry code. https://kb.economicmodeling.com/how-do-emsi-naics-differ-from-standard-naics/

Indexing of Data

This report uses both tables and figures to represent the data to With these values, indexed all to 100 for the same base year of the reader. While most of these are straightforward, one 2010, we can now easily measure the population changes for commonly used figure throughout the document that may not areas with completely different magnitudes of population. be as easy to understand are the figures with indexed data. County A and County B both lost 1,000 total population Indexed figures in this report start the data at a common between 2010 and 2011, however County A lost 10% of its starting point. Here, this is at 100 in the first year of the graph, total population while County B lost only 2%. In that same which is most often at the year 2010. From that point, future year the State gained 10,000 people, but due to its much years are measured as a ratio against the base year. For higher starting point, it was a gain of under 2%. instance, say in ‘County A’ there is a population of 10,000 in 2010 which lowers to 9,000 in 2011 and is raised to 12,000 in Let us now look at the population from 2010 to 2012. County 2012. The indexed figure will show a base of 100 in 2010, A has gained 2,000. This is the same gain as County B has in lower to 90 in 2011, then raises to 120 in 2012. the same time period, but both pale in comparison to the 100,000 people the state gained. However, when we look at These numbers are found by using the following formula: the indexed data values, another story emerges. County B has a gain of 4% for the population. This is certainly an Indexed Value for Current Year = Current Year Value / Base improvement from 2011 when population was lost. However, Year Value * 100 when we compare that to County A, it doesn’t seem as In our previous example of ‘County A’: impressive. County A has an increase of 20% over the time 2010: 10,000/10,000*100 = 100 period. This is a substantial change compared to the 4% of 2011: 9,000/10,000*100 = 90 County B. And let us not forget about the State. While it 2012: 12,000/10,000*100 = 120 gained an amazing 100,000 population over this period, it is only a 16.7% increase in total population, less than County Graphing data indexed by a base year makes seeing trends A’s growth. easier and faster. Here we can tell that population dipped from 2010 to 2011 then rose past the 2010 number to a much higher This is the reasoning behind using indexed data for population. While this may seem obvious for a single data figures/graphs throughout this report. Be it Race and source, it becomes less so when a variety items are being Ethnicity, Housing, or Jobs by Industry, numbers in the same compared to each other. sphere are often needed to be compared, even if those numbers have values of different magnitudes. Indexing of the values Let us say that we also have population figures for ‘County B’ allows a quick and easy comparison for the reader. and for the ‘State’. In County B the 2010 population was 50,000, 2011 was 49,000 and 2012 was 52,000. For the State, population in 2010 was 600,000, 2011 was 610,000 and 2012 was 700,000

American Community Survey (ACS)

The ACS is an ongoing survey conducted by the U.S. Census Why do we use the 5-year estimates rather than the 1-year Bureau. Per the Census Bureau: estimates or point-in-time estimates?

“The American Community Survey (ACS) is an ongoing There are two reasons. The first is that the 5-year estimates survey that provides vital information on a yearly basis about gives a larger sample size, giving a more accurate our nation and its people. Information from the survey representation of the population, even for those areas with generates data that help determine how more than $675 larger populations. This will give a smaller margin of error for billion in federal and state funds are distributed each year. all data. Through the ACS, we know more about jobs and occupations, educational attainment, veterans, whether people own or rent The second reason is two-fold. The ACS does not publish 1- their homes, and other topics. Public officials, planners, and year estimates for areas with population less than 65,000. In entrepreneurs use this information to assess the past and plan Nevada, in 2017, only Clark and Washoe Counties report a the future. When you respond to the ACS, you are doing your population of over 65,000. While we could use the 1-year part to help your community plan for hospitals and schools, estimates for the reports of those two counties, it is support school lunch programs, improve emergency services, inappropriate (per the Census Bureau) to compare data build bridges, and inform businesses looking to add jobs and expand to new markets, and more.” between the 1-year and 5-year estimates. Thus, if someone wished to compare the data between, say, Clark and Lincoln The Census Bureau started collecting data for the ACS in Counties, it is necessary that the data be consistent throughout 2005. At that point they determined to create three separate the two reports. estimates for use: 1-year estimates; 3-year estimates; and 5- year estimates. The 3-year estimates were discontinued as of 2013. The ACS is used throughout the Demographic, Social, and Data for the 2005 1-year estimates was collected from January Economic Characteristics sections of this report. through December 2005 and released in 2006. The first 5-year estimates were released for 2009, with data being gathered from January 2005 through December 2009. Future 5-year https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/about.html estimates follow the same formula. The 2012-2016 5-year estimates have data collected January 2012 through December https://www.census.gov/content/dam/Census/library/publicati 2016. ons/2008/acs/ACSGeneralHandbook.pdf

In this document, tables and charts sourcing the ACS will often refer to the last year of an ACS 5-year estimate as the heading year. It is important to remember that this data is not a snapshot of the year (or any single point in time) being referenced, but of the Census Bureau’s estimate for the 5-year period.
