What it’s like
The place. Moapa sits in the Moapa Valley of southern Nevada, within Clark County, and the Moapa Band of Paiutes have lived in this valley for generations. Across the county, most homes are lived in by their owners, and the town's quiet pace sets it apart from the city of Las Vegas to the south. Summers here are hot and dry, and winters are mild, with little snow.
Work. Residents of Clark County work most often in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, and in shops. Unemployment across the county has eased over the past year, and the county has added jobs since the year before.
Things to do. The Moapa Valley National Wildlife Refuge and the Muddy River are both in or beside town. Valley of Fire State Park is a longer drive away, and Roos-n-More Zoo is a short drive.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Clark County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very high. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Clark County and the Las Vegas-Henderson-Paradise, NV metro.
