Nevada has about 70 towns, compared to Great Britain similiar size with 70,000 towns.
Nevada has two metropolitan areas with more than 100,000 people, Reno/Sparks and Vegas,, so really it is pretty much all small towns. Crime is typical of small towns, drunks, drugs and burglary.
Physical danger to a person is minimal out of the two metros.
Jobs? not many, there are more employees at the Mirage than in all of mining in Nevada. fer instance.

In general. I see new houses going up and what not. So there are jobs in Nevada?

Jobs
Reno is growing,, lot of jobs,, Carson ditto, Fernley is a bedroom community of Reno now. And has a large warehouse area.
Fallon has the air base, and agriculture, most jobs are retail service jobs. Yerington is growing due to retirees. Most of Nevada is cyclical depending on the price of gold, which is way up these days.
Reno Carson Minden real estate prices are similiar to CA.

There is also a small set to the south. Moapa and Overton...Ruralish. Good access to Mead and you can work in Vegas if you like. High Mormon population.
