Dixon County, NE Property Records & Statistics
Dixon County has a median rent of $642, comfortably below the Nebraska median of $734 and the national median of $840.25. Renting is also less common here than elsewhere, with 15.12% of occupied homes renter-occupied, against 21.72% statewide and 21.81% nationally. The county is overwhelmingly made up of homeowners.
The median home value is $134,400, a little above the state median of $130,200 and well below the national median of $173,750. Property taxes are lighter than in much of Nebraska: the county's median property tax rate of 1.12% is under the state rate of 1.28%, although it remains higher than the national rate of 0.74%. Owners therefore pay moderately for homes that are priced close to the state norm.
Income levels are a strength. The median household income of $72,083 is above the state median of $64,083 and the national median of $65,108, which makes the low rents and moderate home prices especially manageable for local households. The unemployment rate of 1.88% is slightly higher than the state's 1.38% but well below the national rate of 2.87%.
In short, Dixon County pairs low rents, a high share of owner-occupied homes, and strong incomes with property taxes that sit below the state average.
