While housing is affordable in the state of Nevada, the job opportunities are not there. Unless you’re planning on working in hospitality on the strip, there aren’t many careers worth moving there for. WalletHub also ranked Nevada as one of the worst states to raise a family, with little access to education and childcare.

Divorce rates are also high in the state, and crime is prominent in Nevada. While it may be a good place to vacation, most military retirees won’t consider moving to the Silver State.
