Local labor market
Nevada has meaningful union presence in commercial construction (Strip casino work) but lower union density in residential. Hospitality-driven labor flows mean residential construction crews can be drawn into Strip projects during major property cycles.
Post-disaster reconstruction premium
Severe thunderstorms (microbursts), monsoon-season flash flooding (Aug-Sep), and isolated hailstorms drive most claim activity. Wildfire exposure exists at the WUI edge (Mt. Charleston) but is limited compared to coastal California. Earthquake exposure is moderate (Walker Lane fault system) and is not covered by Coverage A.
