The median property tax rate is 1.28%, matching the state rate of 1.28% and well above the national 0.74%. Owners therefore pay what is normal for Nebraska, a heavier burden than most of the country.
Median household income is $56,183.50, below the state's $64,083 and the national $65,108. Rents that run above the state median against lower incomes mean housing takes a larger share of many budgets.
