What it’s like
The place. Mount Charleston is a small mountain community in Clark County, home to far fewer people than most towns. Households here have incomes well above the county's, and fewer residents live below the poverty line than you might expect. Almost everyone owns the home they live in, and the typical home value is high. Winters are cold, with colder days and nights than most of the country, and the town sees a great deal of snow each year. July is the warmest month, though even then the days stay mild.
Work. Residents work mostly in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, followed by schools, hospitals and social care, professional and business services, and shops. Across Clark County, some of the largest workplaces are Clark County Schools, Fontainebleau Las Vegas and MGM Resorts International. The typical commute is a long one, as work is a good way down the mountain. Unemployment across Clark County has eased compared with a year earlier, and the county has added jobs over the past year.
Things to do. Close to home, the Spring Mountains National Recreation Area is a protected area a short drive away, and the Las Vegas Ski and Snowboard Resort, a ski area, is also a short drive. For a day out in the desert, Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area is a protected area a longer drive away. The STRAT Hotel, Casino & SkyPod, one of the best-known tourist attractions in the region, is also a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Mount Charleston’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. 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.
