Retrieved October 1, 2026. Stagecoach is a spread-out community at about 4,345 feet, between Dayton and Silver Springs. There is no downtown canopy here. The trees are the shade trees and windbreak rows that owners planted around their own homes and keep alive with their own water. ## What kind of properties are in Stagecoach? About 1,900 people live in roughly 880 homes spread over about 8 square miles. Close to half of those homes, about 49%, are manufactured homes and about 47% are site-built single-family houses. About 82% are owner-occupied (ACS 2020-2024, a small sample, so treat each figure as approximate). The median home dates from 1993 and about 27% were built before 1980. That puts the typical planted tree at around 30 years old, with a smaller group of trees from the 1970s that are now full size. On a lot this open the common requests are clearance pruning where a tree has grown into a roof, carport or driveway, removal of trees that died when the water stopped, and [stump grinding](https://battleborntreeservice.com/service-areas/stagecoach/stump-grinding/) afterward. ## How dry is it? The nearest precipitation station with 1991-2020 normals is a volunteer gauge listed as Silver Springs 6.6 SSW, about 8 miles from the center of Stagecoach at 4,283 feet. It averages 6.22 inches of precipitation a year. That is about a third less than the Carson City station records. At 6 inches a year, a tree in Stagecoach has no backup when irrigation fails, and wind across the open valley dries a canopy further. The USDA hardiness zone is 7a, with average extreme winter lows of 0 to 5 degrees. Our guide to [watering mature trees in the high desert](https://battleborntreeservice.com/guides/watering-mature-trees-high-desert/) explains what a stressed tree looks like before it becomes a removal. ## Wildfire exposure and brush Forest Service data rates Stagecoach's risk to homes higher than about 93% of US communities and about the middle of the Nevada list, higher than 52% of the state's communities. About 40% of buildings are in the direct exposure zone and 60% in the indirect zone. Ten fires of 300 acres or more have a mapped center point within about 10 miles since 1980. The largest was the Gooseberry Fire in 1985 at 29,296 acres, followed by Ramsey in 2000 (7,621 acres), Chaves in 2018 (3,438 acres) and Micro in 2017 (1,549 acres). On acre-scale lots the fuel is mostly sagebrush and dry grass rather than trees, which is machine work.
