A university study is predicting the population in and around Las Vegas will continue to boom over the next four decades.

The Center for Business and Economic Research at UNLV released a report on Wednesday projecting that from today’s 2.4 million residents, Clark County should grow to 3 million in less than 15 years and reach 3.4 million by 2060.

The center creates its annual population forecast on behalf of local government planning and transportation agencies.

Center Director Andrew Woods noted the Southern Nevada population count is just a forecast.

But he said it showed a 17% increase in projected population from just four years ago and called it vital to have information for decisions about schools, public safety and health, utilities, affordable housing and water.

“It’s important that our community leaders are making decisions utilizing the most recent data,” Woods said.

The roaring back of Southern Nevada’s economy has business leaders in the state bullish on Nevada’s outlook heading into the second half of 2021, according to a recent survey from UNLV.

A quarterly survey of business leaders conducted by the UNLV Center for Business and Economic Research showed the highest confidence level recorded since 2008, hitting an index score of 157.3 and eclipsing the previous high of 148.1 recorded in the first quarter of 2015.

When the SARS virus outbreak spread from China throughout the world in 2003, Las Vegas was in a panic.

How would this mysterious severe acute respiratory syndrome affect the local economy?

As it turned out, the effects of SARS were minimal except for one major technology convention. Local tourism experts have no data on the final impact on tourism by SARS and visitation could have been affected by other events, including lingering effects of the 9/11 attacks and the U.S. war against Iraq that broke out in March 2003.

As Governor Steve Sisolak looks at the state’s strong economic performance at the dawn of a new decade, he sees it well-positioned to make investments that will create jobs and wealth for years to come.

Top economists expect Nevada’s strong performance will continue into the New Year and that optimism, Sisolak says, creates an opportunity to address long-term economic issues.
