Count inmates at their home address

Within 30 days after the U.S. Census Bureau gives redistricting data, the State Demographer updates counts for every census block, block group, and tract. Each inmate is counted at the Nevada address where they lived right before incarceration, using Department of Corrections data. If the last address is unknown or not in Nevada, the inmate is not counted at the prison location and is placed in a statewide unit instead.

New inmate records and census reporting

Starting July 1, 2025, in each census year, the Department of Corrections must give the State Demographer inmate data between April 1 and July 1. The data must include a unique ID that is not a name, the facility’s street address, the last home address before sentencing and any other known address, 18-or-older status, and race or ethnicity with a separate Hispanic/Latino category. Beginning January 1, 2026, the Department keeps an electronic record for every offender with that same core information. The Director must also collect, before January 1, 2026, the last pre-sentencing home address for inmates who will be released after July 1, 2030. These steps support accurate planning and redistricting while protecting privacy by not sharing names.
