About Kingsbury

Kingsbury is a very small town located in the state of Nevada. With a population of 2,627 people and just one neighborhood, Kingsbury is the 33rd largest community in Nevada.

Kingsbury is a decidedly white-collar town, with fully 85.17% of the workforce employed in white-collar jobs, well above the national average.

Kingsbury is a major vacation destination. Much of the town's population is seasonal: many people own second homes and only live there part-time, during the vacation season. The effect on the local economy is that many of the businesses are dependant on tourist dollars, and may operate only during the high season. As the vacation season ends, Kingsbury's population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.

For a small town, there is also a high proportion of single, often educated, people living in Kingsbury. This is not typical for most smaller communities in America, and adds a feeling of vibrancy to Kingsbury.
