Introduction

Rock Creek Interpretive Trail

Incorporated in 1851, Nevada County was named after its most prominent mining town Nevada City. Since that time Nevada County has prospered from a mining community in to a diverse and thriving environment to live and work. Nevada County has long been recognized as a tourist destination with its extraordinary natural beauty of forests, rivers, mountains and lakes that provide an aesthetic backdrop to everyday life. The County is well known as a mecca of outdoor activities, including hiking, mountain biking, skiing and much more.

Additionally, tourists and locals alike revel in the vibrant art and cultural scene that has always been a crucial part of the community. Whether it’s taking in a performance by a prominent musician at the Center for the Arts, touring the studios of local artists, or enjoying a play at the Nevada Theater where Mark Twain and Jack London performed, Nevada County has a lot to offer. Visitors are seldom disappointed by the historic architecture, unique shops and thriving culinary scene in our small towns. Street fairs and farmers’ markets are abundant, creating a strong sense of community. Beyond the qualities that make Nevada County an attractive place to unwind, it has qualities that make it a highly desirable place in which to work. The County is comprised of three unique, historic towns, Truckee, Nevada City and Grass Valley, with Nevada City voted as one of America’s Coolest Small Towns in 2014 by Budget Travel Magazine. The economy is well-supported by a wide array of industries including manufacturing, retail, technology, agriculture, construction and health services. Nevada County has an above-average high school graduation rate, accessibility to traditional, charter and private schools, and higher level education at our recently expanded local Sierra College campus. Well-maintained roads make it easy to get around and Nevada County has targeted infrastructure projects such as the broadband initiative and library technology center, offering opportunities for viable expansion while maintaining a small-town feel. Due to Nevada County’s effective approach to criminal justice, the County has low crime rates relative to comparison counties. The Nevada County Demographic and Statistical Profile for 2015/2016 includes the following topics: community and society, government, housing, transportation, work and business. We hope that you will enjoy this profile of Nevada County. Note on Comparison Data: Nevada County selected seven counties (Butte, El Dorado, Mendocino, Napa, Placer, Sutter, and Tehama) for comparison purposes on some shared characteristics throughout this report, including rural geography, close to an urban center, demographics, and size. The intent is to provide insight into Nevada County’s unique community, social, geographic, and demographic environment.

 

1. Community and Society  Geography Residents and visitors are taken by Nevada County’s physical landscape, including historic foothill towns nestled amidst pristine rivers, picturesque forests and the rugged beauty of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Established at the height of the Gold Rush in 1851, Nevada County is home to three incorporated areas (Grass Valley, Nevada City and Truckee,) and a variety of unincorporated communities and rural areas. Nevada County offers a rural and small-town lifestyle, while still being located within a convenient distant from urban centers in Sacramento, the Bay Area and Reno. In addition to the beautiful setting, the strong sense of community and high quality of life found here are attractive attributes of the local culture. The weather of Nevada County is another valued attribute. Here one can enjoy the California sun while still experiencing all four seasons. Rain averages just over ten inches in January and summer temperature are mild with average highs near 85 degrees in July. Our higher elevations receive on average 206 inches of snow a year, although some years can see significantly more or less snow, such as 1906 when 76 feet of snow fell during the winter, compared to the historic lows of the last couple years.

Recreation Recreational opportunities are often centered around the natural environment. Scenic trails, alpine lakes, the Yuba River and the Sierra Nevada Mountains all support numerous recreation activities, including skiing, biking, hiking, fishing, kayaking, hunting and backpacking. The wealth of recreation opportunities and the allure of the County’s rustic forests and mountains have contributed to a vibrant and healthy community. Outdoor adventure opportunities are plentiful in the County, but what increasingly draws visitors is Scotts Flat Lake, Nevada City the array of cultural experiences available. A vibrant nightlife, a variety of restaurants, state parks, and an abundance of shopping means that visitors and locals can experience small-town life without having to forgo indulgence in pleasures more typical of an urban setting. With a calendar packed with street fairs, festivals, art exhibits, local theater and children’s activities, the possibilities are endless for those of all age groups and interests.

Tourism Nevada County provides a welcoming and exciting experience for visitors. Whether they come to watch the Tour of Nevada City bicycle race, hit the slopes in Truckee or enjoy the Cornish Christmas street fair, there’s something for everyone here. Tourism is a key economic generator in Nevada County. According to a study by Dean Runyon Associates, in 2011 Nevada County benefitted from $283 million in travel related spending. From 1992-2011, visitor spending in Nevada County increased on average 3.2% annually. Spending by visitors generates sales in lodging, food services, recreation, transportation, and retail businesses. These sales support jobs for County residents and contribute tax revenue to local and state government.

Population With just under 100,000 residents, Nevada County is the 36th most populous county in California. The population grew from 92,053 in 2000 to 98,764 in 2010, but declined slightly to 97,225 in 2014. Nevada County saw its highest growth between the 1950s and 1990s, increasing by 260% between 1950 and 1980, and another 70% between 1980 and 1990. The decline in population is correlated to the economic downturn, as some people left the area to find employment or less expensive housing. Preliminary data indicates that the population is again growing slightly. Due to the continued recovery, coupled with several upcoming infrastructure projects that will make the area more conducive to growth, the population is expected to grow moderately in coming years. California Department of finance projections show Nevada County’s population topping 100,000 sometime after 2015, and an estimated population of 101,767 by 2020.

Library Services The Nevada County Library provides public library services from its three branches in Nevada City, Grass Valley, and Truckee and its two stations in Penn Valley and Bear River. The Friends of the Nevada County Library provide service from the Doris Foley Library for Historical Research in partnership with the County Library. A voter approved sales tax measure in 2002 provides a one-eighth cent sales tax to fund County libraries. The Friends of the Library and Truckee Friends have been instrumental in raising needed funds for the libraries and they, with other volunteers, have contributed over 18,300 volunteer hours annually. This voter approved revenue and community involvement helps support the robust library programs available here. Of the six comparison counties, Nevada County has the highest circulation per capita (7.57) and the second highest spending per capita ($24.12) behind Placer County. Grass Valley Royce Branch Library

Technology is an increasingly important tool in the Library System. From March 2014 through February of 2015, the community downloaded over 25,000 eBooks and/or audio books, an 80% increase over the same period last year and the high demand continues to increase. In the 2013-2014 fiscal year, the Helling Library saw 31,739 individual uses of library public computers and laptops – a 186% increase over the previous fiscal year. A Collaborative Technology Center opened in the Helling Library in August of 2013 and added approximately 2,000 square feet of space dedicated to technology and community development, including state of the art computers/devices, a 3-D printer, videography equipment and meeting and classroom areas.

Historical Legacy The extensive Native American, pioneer, railroad and mining history of the Nevada County can be explored at various locations. Nevada County was at the heart of the California Gold Rush, which drew scores of migrants from around the world, reshaping California and the Nation. The recent release of an interactive web-map guiding users to the many registered historical landmarks in the area represents a modern approach to appreciating our rich historical legacy.  Museum and Historic Site Highlights *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *

Criminal Justice Nevada County is a low crime county. In 2013, the County had the lowest felony rate per capita of the comparison counties and the second lowest overall crime rate. This low crime rate is attributable to the innovative and collaborative approach to criminal justice taken by local agencies and community partners. Our public safety agencies, human service agencies and non-profits meet regularly to strategize and coordinate service delivery, to the point where Nevada County’s recidivism rate (the rate of new crime commission) for AB109 probationers is just 16% compared to 30% across the state. These efforts to stop the “revolving door” have a direct and positive impact on the crime rate.

Sheriff

The largest player in the local public safety arena in terms of budget as well as community footprint is the Nevada County Sherif’s Office. The largest unit in the Sheriff's Office is the uniformed Patrol Division, based primarily in Western Nevada County, with an additional substation in Truckee. The Sheriff’s Office has local correctional facilities in Nevada City and Truckee, and assists in court security. In addition, all three incorporated cities have police forces. The Nevada County Sheriff’s office operates a centralized Dispatch unit that handles dispatch for the cities and unincorporated area.

Superior Court The Superior court consists of six judges and one commissioner. The primary courthouse is located in Nevada City and the court maintains a branch in Truckee. Both locations are full-jurisdiction courts processing all case types. Since 1998, the largest funding sources for court operations have been the State Trial Court Trust Fund, state and federal grant funding and a small amount of locally generated revenue. While the Court is an independent state entity, it works closely with county departments to provide civil and criminal justice services in our community. Nevada County ranks third lowest in number of jury trials but is fourth highest of the counties in total criminal filings.

Safety Net Programs Health and Human Service Programs are often called “Safety Net” Programs; they help individuals and families with basic needs such as food, housing, and medical care. These programs include CalWorks; Food Stamps; the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program; Adult Protective Services, Child Protective Services, Child Support Services and more. Nevada County continues to be a relatively low “welfare” county compared with most of its central valley and north state counterparts, although the downturn in the economy has led some residents who were previously self-sufficient to seek support. The percentage of residents applying for and receiving support in Nevada County through safety net programs increased significantly during the recession. One mitigating factor is that Nevada County also has a high performing Child Support department, which both helps to recoup some of the costs associated with safety net programs, but also provides helps families avoid the need to apply for service in the first place by ensuring both parents are engaged in supporting the family. Along with the recession, the largest single factor affecting safety net caseloads in recent years is the Affordable Care Act. All comparison counties show a marked increase in Medi-Cal enrollment this year vs. last year as a direct result of the lowering of eligibility requirements.

Nevada County CAFR /Nevada County Assessor

The assessed value of Nevada County real estate increased from $4.2 billion in 1997, to a high of $14.9 billion in 2014. As was typical across the nation during the “great recession” the County saw a precipitous drop in values after the bubble of the mid-2000s. While the recovery has occurred more slowly in California’s rural areas than it has in the coastal cities, a healthy increase in total valuation occurred in Nevada County in 2014. Both assessed value per capita and average home value have increased, reflecting the rebound in the real estate market. State law allows for temporary property tax reductions (Prop 8) when values decline. Prop 8 properties were virtually non-existent before the decline, then spiked to a peak of 31% of all properties in the County in 2010. The percentage has trended downwards from there and will continue to go down as the economy recovers.

An estimated 84% of county dwellings are single-family units, and 10% are multi-family units. An estimated 60% of all housing is in the unincorporated area of the County, with Truckee representing the most housing units among the incorporated cities/town, at 24 %. According to Counting California Report (2000), 14% of housing units in Nevada County were second homes at that time. Second home ownership is especially prevalent in Truckee, a popular resort community in the Tahoe region.

 

The number of building permits issued by the county declined dramatically during the economic downturn, mirroring state and nationwide trends. Total permits have recovered significantly since the 2009-2010 low, but remain below the prerecession highs.

Housing Total housing units is the number of singleand multiple-family dwellings, mobile homes, and other dwelling units situated within a given jurisdiction. A housing unit may be the permanent residence for a household, a seasonal or second home, or vacant pending sale or rental. The total number of housing units in Nevada County was 52,662 units in 2014, with a median sales price of $335,000, which places Nevada County in the higher value range among comparison counties.

The network will be installed in key County areas and the infrastructure will be used to leverage fiber optics in the greater community. Three community anchor institutions will be initially connected. The project will then be leveraged by local “Last Mile” and other commercial Internet providers. The project construction is mostly completed with hopes of network activation in late 2015. A local Internet Service Provider is working on plans to build a 1Gbs fiber to the home/business “Last Mile” network in western Nevada County. Local Wireless Internet Service Providers continue to slowly build out their networks and cover more rural homes. Commercial fiber based business services are also slowly expanding from the major providers such as AT&T and Comcast, but are limited to the higher density city centric locations. Rural cellular data coverage is slowly expanding with the two major local providers, Verizon and AT&T, adding a new tower over the past year, with several other new towers currently being planned. The Truckee area’s cable TV provider Suddenlink Communications announced plans to update their infrastructure to offer 1Gbs broadband services over the next two years. They also performed upgrades this past year that can now provide 50Mbs service to Donner Summit area residents.

Nevada County ensures the safe and reliable disposal solid waste and recycling through a contract with Waste Management. The Sanitation District provides wastewater treatment in the unincorporated areas. Currently the majority of the unincorporated areas do not have treated wastewater, but a pending collaborative project is leveraging grant funding to bring wastewater treatment to the Penn Valley area. This project will increase the percentage of the population with access to treated water.

Agriculture The total value of Nevada County’s 2013 agricultural crop production was $23,206,300. This amount represents an increase of $6,418,300 from the 2012 crop value, with the largest increase in Cattle & Calves ($2,288,200). Nursery products show decreased revenue of $14,500. This decrease is primarily from lower nursery sales, although some of the difference also resulted from lower Christmas tree sales. Retail nursery production was significantly down which growers attributed to the continued downturn in the economy. The total acres harvested and the yield per acre increased resulting in an additional 380 tons of production, which overcame the decrease in the price per unit.  Top 6 Agricultural Crops

A recent report on California road conditions ranked Nevada County third in the state in terms of pavement condition. Nevada County is one of only 4 counties with “good” pavement condition, and does significantly better than any other rural county in the State. In large part this is due to passage of Measure F in 1996, unique to Nevada County, which commits a portion of discretionary revenue to road improvement. This funding stream has allowed Nevada County to be one of the few to maintain good pavement condition despite the recession.

Highway Safety Data  

Nevada County had 17 fatal accidents in 2012 which is the fourth lowest amount in the comparison counties. We fare worse at 7th when controlled for vehicle miles travelled. Part of this is normal fluctuation. Due to the small numbers involved, a few accidents can skew the fatality rate drastically year to year.

5. Working and Doing Business Nevada County has over 11,000 commuters going out of the county for work, and nearly 6,000 coming into the county. The top destination out for work is Placer County (6,170), followed by Sacramento County (1,732), and Washoe County, Nevada (844). Commute times range from 30 minutes to Placer, 2 hours to Washoe, and up to 3.75 hours to parts of the Sacramento Valley. Commuting has an economic impact on the community because residents may be spending time and money in other locations rather than locally, impacting both family life and local business activity.   Nevada County - Commuters Out/In for Work Other 1,111 1,073 Bay Area 810 152 Sac.

General Fund Discretionary Revenues

However, approximately one-third is spent to leverage funding for programs with specific spending requirements, or to maintain State funding for some programs. The remainder funds programs not mandated by the State or Local Municipal Services such as Public Safety, Tax Collection, and Community Development.

The following chart provides an historical picture of General Fund Discretionary Revenues. Unlike other county funding, which is required to be spent on specific programs, these revenues are considered discretionary because they are available for the Board to allocate to various programs and services.

Discretionary Revenue per Capita

The trend in County Discretionary Revenue per Capita increased from 03-04 to 04-05 reflecting the State of California MVLF/Property Tax Swap. From 04-05 to 07-08 the trend increased due in large part to property tax growth. A small reduction in population from 10/11 through 12/13 leads to slightly more revenue per capita. In 12/13 base property taxes declined but were offset by increased taxes related to Redevelopment Agency dissolution and franchise fees from an expanded solid waste contract with Waste Management of Nevada County. In 14/15 revenues increased, while population has remained flat, thus resulting in an increase in per capita revenue. In 15/16 continued recovery of revenue streams coupled with low

Historical Budget Trend The proposed final budget for 2015/16 totals $201,247,431. The total budget increase between 14/15 and 15/16 is projected to be $1,200,000. The following graph presents the historical trend in the County’s budget. It should be noted that in Fiscal Year 2002/03 GASB 34 required many additional funds to be budgeted, which were not budgeted in prior years. This increase was approximately $13,600,000. Again in 2004/05 Funds were added totaling approximately $5,600,000. Starting in 2012/13 the County began budgeting for 2011 Realignment, which results in increased budgets as
