How Long Does a Las Vegas Renter Stay in One Home?

By The Rental Lister · Published November 11, 2026 · Data: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2025, released October 29, 2026; company annual reports

Half of Clark County renter households (50.9%) moved into their current home in 2023 or later, and the median renter household moved in during 2024, against 2023 for renters nationally.

Reading the Census Brackets

The Census Bureau reports the year a household moved in using calendar brackets, not “less than a year” or “one to four years”. The 2025 survey ran through all of 2025, so “2023 or later” means roughly the last zero to three years, “2020 to 2022” roughly three to six years, and “2019 or earlier” more than six years. The 2024 survey used the same brackets one year earlier, so its “2023 or later” covered only about two years. Comparing the two years’ first bracket would mostly measure the bracket getting wider, so we don’t.

Las Vegas Renters Move More Often

The median Clark County renter household moved in during 2024, against 2023 for renters nationally and 2016 for Clark County homeowners. Read loosely, the typical Las Vegas renter household had been in its home about one to two years when surveyed, against two to three years for U.S. renters (our approximate reading of the medians). Only 26.2% of Clark County renter households had been in place since 2019 or earlier, against 31.3% nationally.

The share of people in rented homes who moved in the past year is about the same as nationally: 21.3% (±1.6) in Clark County and 21.1% in the U.S. More of them came from another state: 5.4% (±1.0) against 3.6%. Henderson turns over fastest: 59.2% (±5.4) of its renter households moved in during 2023 or later (Henderson, table B25038), against 49.0% (±4.0) in the City of Las Vegas and 47.1% in North Las Vegas.

Renters in Houses Stay Longer

In Clark County, 33.2% of renter households in single-family houses have been in place since before 2020, against 20.5% of those in buildings of five or more units. The same pattern holds nationally, where 63.0% of house renters and 73.6% of renters in larger buildings moved in during 2020 or later.

Shares are our calculation from table B25129 (Clark County, 2025): 86,461 of 129,427 renter households in houses and 131,436 of 165,403 in buildings of five or more units moved in during 2020 or later.

What the Big Single-Family Landlords Report (National)

No company publishes tenant tenure or turnover for Las Vegas alone. Across their national portfolios, the two largest single-family landlords report:

• Invitation Homes: average resident tenure of more than 40 months and a renewal rate of 78.4% in the first quarter of 2026 (June 2026 investor presentation); annual turnover of 22.8% in 2025, with homes empty an average of 47 days between residents, up from 40 days in 2024 (2025 annual report).
• American Homes 4 Rent: an average length of stay of “3+ years” (May 2026 investor highlights) and turnover of 26.3% in 2025, down from 27.8% in 2024 (2025 annual report).
• For comparison, apartments: Camden, a national apartment owner, reported turnover of 47% in 2025, or 36% net of residents moving to another of its apartments (fourth quarter 2025 supplement).

These are company portfolios across many states, not the Las Vegas market, and each company defines turnover in its own way.

What This Means for Owners

• A good house tenant often stays for years. Renters in houses stay noticeably longer than apartment renters, so choosing the right tenant pays off well beyond the first lease. Our guide to tenant screening criteria covers what you may screen on.
• Every turnover costs weeks. At the largest single-family landlord, homes sat empty an average of 47 days between residents in 2025. Our breakdown of the cost of a vacant rental shows what that means in dollars.
• Renewing has beaten re-leasing lately. At Invitation Homes’ Las Vegas homes, renewal rents rose 3.8% in the third quarter of 2026 while new-lease rents fell 2.3% (company report). Our study of Las Vegas rent trends has more.
• These are averages. How long one tenant stays depends on the tenant, the home and the rent.

Method and Sources

Census figures are American Community Survey 2025 1-year estimates, read from data.census.gov on November 11, 2026, with 90% margins of error. Move-in year is for the householder; tables B25038, B25039 and B25129 count households, while B07013 counts people aged one and over. The Census Bureau does not publish a margin of error for the Clark County renters’ median, because it falls in the open-ended “2023 or later” bracket. The 2025 survey lost six weeks of data collection to the fall 2025 federal funding lapse (Census user note). Company figures are from each company’s own filings and presentations, as linked.
