Map of White Pine County This map is compiled from ArcView Business Analyst and shows the 1996 population by census tracts, key highways and roads, and major water bodies. The most populated area is the city of Ely, located in the center of the county. We can also see on the map that almost half the county population is located in the southwest region of the county. 3

Nevada State Demographer's Office Projections to 2018 The data presented in this component were taken directly from the "Nevada Population Projections and Forecasts, 1998-2018 and Review of Methods." This report was prepared by Dean H. Judson, Ph.D. State Demographer for Nevada Department of Taxation in April, 1998. A copy of this document can be obtained from the Nevada State Demographer's Office, University of Nevada, Reno (775) 784-6352. Included are the population estimates for White Pine County from 1950 to 1998 and low, medium, and high forecasts to the year 2018. From this data the annual percent change and a three-year moving average of the percent change were calculated to show how population growth fluctuates over time. Figure 3 shows estimated population growth for White Pine County under low, moderate and high economic conditions. Population in 1997 for White Pine County was estimated to be 10,640. Under high estimates, population is forecast to increase to 16,730 in 2018 or an increase of 57.2 percent. Under middle or average expansion, population is estimated to increase to 13,430 in 2018 or 26.2 percent increase. Under low population expansion scenario, White Pine County population is forecast to decrease to 8,060 in 2018 or 24.2 percent decrease. Assumptions of alternative growth scenarios employed can be found in Nevada Population Projections and Forecasts, 1998-2018 and Review of Methods. i. White Pine High: City improvement plans come about, making better streets, parks, water, and encouraging new businesses. General merchandise store develops, and brings approximately 10 jobs. In addition, an increase in tourism has the potential to create about 360 new jobs over the next five years. The development of the industrial park is increased due to its proximity to the airport, attracting new business on a continual basis for the next few years, creating at least 80 new jobs. Thus over the next two years, 370 new jobs will be created. With this increase in available jobs, there will be an expansion in housing development. ii. White Pine Middle: Sharps Furniture, fast food restaurant, and motel bring 55 new jobs in the next 2 years. There are also jobs obtained in division of wildlife and the division of forestry. The Waste Water Treatment Plant is not funded. Industrial activisty is slow to come to the area bringing 150 jobs over the next five years. Tourism will be moderate, bringing only about half of the previously estimated 180 jobs. So, over the next five years, about 255 new jobs will be created, causing a rise in the population as well as in housing development. iii. White Pine Low: Commercial developments bring 35 jobs. There is little to no tourism. Industrial activity is diverted to other neighboring counties. Population growth is slow. 4

Age Distribution Using data from Business Analyst, the median age estimates for the years 1996, 2001, and 2006 are shown for all counties. The age distribution for White Pine County for the years 1996, 2001, and 2006 is also shown. These age distributions are further broken down by gender. Figure 6 shows the estimated median age for each of Nevada s seventeen counties for 1996, 2001 and 2006. Table 4 shows that median age for White Pine County is forecast to increase from 35 years of age in 1996 to 37 years of age in 2006. White Pine County was the thirteenth oldest in median age of Nevada s 17 counties in 1996, which is estimated to remain unchanged in rank in 2006 Table 5 shows that population for people 6 years of age to 17 years of age is forecast to increase from 2,083 in 1996 to 2,259 in 2006. Also, the retirement age group (persons 65 years of age and older) is forecast to increase from 1,201 in 1996 to 1,325 in 2006. Figures 7 through 9 show population by age by proportionate share from 1996 to 2006. Between 1996 and 2006, the number of persons in the age group 6 to 17 years of age will increase by 176, but the proportionate share will remain constant at 20% for the same time period. The number of persons 65 years and older will increase by 124 persons between 1996 and 2016, but the proportionate share will decrease from 12% to 11%. Figures 10 through 13 show the distribution of population by gender for different age groups in White Pine County for 1996, 2001 and 2006. Table 6 also shows the gender-age population values for White Pine County from 1996, 2001 and 2006. Figures 10 through 13 and Table 6 show a large share of population in the working age group (35 to 54 years of age) and large share in the retirement age group (65 years of age and older). This shows the local employment opportunities in White Pine County as well as growth in the number of persons retiring in White Pine County. 10

About Labor Force and Employment Data The data included in this section were obtained from the Nevada Department of Employment, Training & Rehabilitation (DETR) web site at http://www.state.nv.us/detr/ For additional information or updated data please visit DETR's web site. Labor force is defined as all members of the civilian noninstitutional population who are eligible for inclusion in the labor force, and those 16 years of age and older who have jobs or are actively seeking employment. All others or those who don t have a job are counted as not in the labor force. Figure 19 and Table 9 shows monthly labor force estimates for the White Pine County and the state of Nevada.

Chapter 3: Personal Income (REIS) The personal income data in this report were taken from the Regional Economic Information System May 1998. This is a data CD that is published annually by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis, for all states and counties in the United States. The REIS provides annual estimates from 1969 to 1996. For more information about the CD, you may visit the BEA's web site at http://www.bea.doc.gov Table CA05 -- Personal Income by Major Source and Earnings by Industry Personal income (Table CA05) is a measure of income received; therefore, estimates of State and local area personal income reflect the residence of the income recipients. The adjustment for residence is made to wages and salaries, other labor income, and personal contributions for social insurance, with minor exceptions, to place them on a place-of-residence (where-received) basis. The adjustment is necessary because these components of personal income are estimated from data that are reported by place of work (where earned). The estimates of proprietors' income, although presented on the table as part of place-of-work earnings, are largely by place of residence; no residence adjustment is made for this component. Net earnings by place of residence is calculated by subtracting personal contributions for social insurance from earnings by place of work and then adding the adjustment for residence, which is an estimate of the net inflow of the earnings of interarea commuters. The estimates of dividends, interest, and rent, and of transfer payments are prepared by place of residence only. Finally the REIS data reports income by economic sector. These sectoral income estimates are by place of work. The sectoral income estimates are derived for agricultural; mining; construction; manufacturing; transportation and public utilities; wholesale trade; retail trade; finance, insurance and real estate; services; federal government; state government; and local government sectors.
