City of Reno Launches New Housing Dashboard

The City of Reno is proud to launch its new housing dashboard. This interactive tool provides data on Reno's housing needs, both now and over the next 10 years, and is updated regularly to reflect the most current information.

The launch coincides with Housing America Month, highlighting the Reno City Council's ongoing commitment to making affordable housing a top priority for the community.

"I hear from residents every day about how challenging the housing market has become, and that's why this dashboard is such an important tool," said Reno Mayor Hillary Schieve. "Our Council is looking forward to using these new insights to make meaningful decisions to help address our community's housing needs."

Alongside the new dashboard launch, the City is debuting an informational video featuring Reno City Manager, Jackie Bryant, and Housing Manager, Elaine Wiseman. The video can be viewed here in addition to the City of Reno's social media pages.

The City has also completed the 2025 Housing Needs Assessment, which helped inform the data and insights featured in the dashboard.

The housing dashboard showcases various elements including:

• How many homes are needed
• What types of housing are being built
• Benchmarks for renters and homeowners
• Demographic insights: household income, size, and housing preferences (apartments, condos, townhomes, or single-family homes)

Since 2016, home prices in Reno have risen by 93 percent, creating significant challenges for housing options. According to the dashboard, Reno will need at least 15,000 new homes over the next decade, including 9,000 affordable units, to meet population and household income needs. These units are considered affordable for households earning below 80 percent of the area median income (AMI).

"We're excited to launch this new housing dashboard, which gives our team a clearer, more accurate picture of Reno's housing market across all income levels and the gaps that exist," said Reno City Manager Jackie Bryant. "This dashboard represents a significant step forward in the City's ongoing commitment to working with our partners to expand housing opportunities for the Biggest Little City."

Currently in Reno, based on a household that earns $50,000 a year, attainable monthly rent is approximately $1,250 a month. There is also demand for more home ownership opportunities for households with monthly mortgages between $2,500 and $3,750 a month.

Residents, housing partners, and stakeholders are encouraged to check out the new Housing Dashboard to see where Reno stands when it comes to housing. The dashboard can be found on the City's Housing and Neighborhood Development page.
