Burt County, NE Property Records & Statistics
Burt County has a median rent of $674, below the Nebraska median of $734 and the national median of $840.25. Renter-occupied housing makes up 22.41% of occupied homes, a little above the state figure of 21.72% and the national figure of 21.81%, so rental housing plays a slightly larger role here than in many places.
The median home value in Burt County is $121,000, lower than the state's $130,200 and well under the national $173,750. Property taxes are the main cost pressure for owners: the county's median property tax rate of 1.42% is higher than Nebraska's 1.28% and nearly double the national rate of 0.74%, so a modest home price still carries a heavier tax bill relative to its value.
The median household income is $52,288, below both the state figure of $64,083 and the national figure of $65,108. Employment, however, looks strong, with an unemployment rate of 0.39% compared with 1.38% in Nebraska and 2.87% nationally.
Overall, the figures describe an affordable county with low rents and home values, lower household incomes than average, very low unemployment, and above-average property tax rates.
