The median household income in Lyon County is $76,750, above the state median of $70,555 and the national median of $65,108. That stronger income helps support the higher housing costs.

Assignment and Release Records
Assignment and release records show what happens to a mortgage after it is recorded. An assignment documents the transfer of a mortgage from one lender or loan holder to another, while a release shows that a loan was paid off and the lien removed from the property.
Lyon County has 78,100 assignment and release records available for research. They include 15,205 assignment documents and 62,628 release documents, along with 267 other documents, recorded from April 4, 2004, through August 29, 2025.
For property research, these records help trace who has held a mortgage on a property and whether earlier loans were satisfied.

The date range also makes it easier to focus on documents recorded in a specific period.
