Dayton is a medium-sized town located in the state of Nevada. With a population of 15,153 people and three associated neighborhoods, Dayton is the 12th largest community in Nevada. Much of the housing stock in Dayton was built relatively recently. The construction of new real estate can often be taken as an indication that the local Dayton economy is robust, and that jobs or other amenities are attracting an influx of new residents. This seems to be the case in Dayton, where the median household income is $85,375.00.

Also of interest is that Dayton has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 9.21% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

Residents will find that the town is relatively quiet. This is because it is not over-populated, and it has fewer college students, renters, and young children - all of whom can be noisy at times. So, if you're looking for a relatively peaceful place to live, Dayton is worth considering.

One downside of living in Dayton is that it can take a long time to commute to work. In Dayton, the average commute to work is 31.96 minutes, which is quite a bit higher than the national average.
