Important Takeaways:
- Californians are pouring into Nevada. Not everyone is happy about it
- California residents and companies have poured into northern Nevada since Tesla began building its battery pack factory in a business park outside Reno in 2014.
- In the last three years, the pandemic pushed another wave of Californians into northern Nevada. Here, they can retire or work from home or the ski slopes while keeping close ties to the San Francisco Bay Area or Los Angeles
- The migrants are seeking to re-create a California lifestyle — a technology hub with comfortable communities, economic growth and mountain views — without California’s problems.
- More than 85,000 people traded California driver’s licenses for Nevada licenses in 2021 and 2022

Nevadans are struggling with homelessness and drug addiction; lines for food and housing assistance are growing. The state’s public schools record some of the lowest standardized test scores in the country.
