Homes in the wildland-urban interface
About 45% of Nevada’s homes sit inside the wildland-urban interface — roughly 571,000 of 1.3 million statewide, according to the SILVIS Lab’s 2020 dataset. The share varies sharply by county: from about 32% in Las Vegas’s Clark County to about 97% in Carson City.
The five Nevada counties with the most homes in the wildland-urban interface:
- Clark County
- Washoe County
- Carson City
- Lyon County
- Douglas County
Being in the interface is a description of geography, not a forecast of fire — it captures how close a building sits to vegetation that can burn. These classifications change slowly; the figures here come from the SILVIS Lab’s most recent revision of the 1990–2020 dataset, released February 2025.
