  • Income tracks poverty. The gap from richest to poorest runs 2.0×, and the 10 highest-income counties average 7.3% in poverty against 13.5% for the 10 lowest. calculated from Census SAIPE 2024
  • The median county. Half of Nebraska’s counties have fewer than 6,170 residents, and half report a median household income below $69,128. calculated from Census PEP V2025 · Census SAIPE 2024
  • Lopsided density. Only 17 of 93 counties are denser than Nebraska’s statewide average of 26 people per square mile. calculated from Census PEP V2025 · Census TIGER 2026

Click a column heading to sort all 93 counties. A suppressed estimate (coefficient of variation ≥ 0.30) shows a marker, never a guess. County seats are from Wikidata (CC0), each validated to a Census place inside its county. Where Wikidata has none, the seat comes from the page cited for that county in the seat file, and where the table names no seat, it says why. See the methodology.
