TownMe Goes to Burning Man

Did you know that every year, a desert flower of a town blooms for eight days 120 miles north of Reno, Nevada? That town is called Black Rock City (BRC), home to the Burning Man Festival. Overnight it becomes one of the largest cities in Nevada.

Black Rock City is a Real Town!

It has radio stations, newspapers, a mail delivery system, and a DMV (Department of Mutant Vehicles)... it's a real town (and one that grew astronomically over the years)! So of course we want to make sure it's covered on TownMe along with the other 20,000 cities on our site :)

Black Rock Demographics
We compared Burning Man stats from the Black Rock Afterburn Report to the USA Census. For example, did you know that for cities of comparable size:

• Black Rock is tied with Ann Arbor, Michigan as the most educated city in the US?
• Black Rock is one of the richest cities in the USA, tied with San Jose, CA?
