What it’s like
The place. Yerington is a small city in Lyon County, and its residents are older than in most American towns. Household incomes here run below the county's, and a four-year degree is held by fewer adults than in much of the country. Winters are cold and dry, with only a little snow, and summers are hot.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with shops, restaurants, hotels and entertainment close behind, and some in farming, forestry and mining. Among the largest workplaces in Yerington are Lyon Schools, South Lyon Medical Center and Dini's Lucky Club. Jobs across Lyon County have grown only slightly over the past year.
Things to do. Walker River State Recreation Area and the East Walker River are both a short drive away, for time along the water. Farther out, a longer drive takes you to Walker Lake, a lake that draws people to its shore, and to Fort Churchill State Historic Park, a protected historic site.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Yerington’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 Lyon County and the Fernley, NV metro.
