Adams, NE (ZIP 68301) sits in Gage County. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: Health Insurance comes in below the national average at 6.5%. NCES lists 2 schools serving the area, 2 non-charter. 1 college or university serves the area, with median in-state tuition of $43,985. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $98,649, well above the ~$45K national average per return. BLS QCEW reports average annual pay of $48,917 per worker, roughly 25% below the US average. FDIC counts just 1 bank branch in this ZIP (Summary of Deposits, 2024) — residents likely lean on neighboring ZIPs or online banking for most services. Social vulnerability is low in this ZIP at the 9th percentile (CDC SVI), reflecting strong baseline resilience to public-health emergencies and natural disasters. FEMA has issued 32 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1967 — a high-frequency exposure profile. 32.4% of residents in this county are flagged low-access by USDA's 2025 Food Environment Atlas — a notable supermarket-access gap. Nebraska levies a graduated state income tax (top rate 5.20%); a household at the local median AGI of $98,649 would pay roughly $3,078/year before deductions. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net gain of 143 residents (35 households) — the ZIP's primary county is growing. Healthcare access is the area's quieter strength; school options sit on the lighter side, so families may find themselves looking at districts a few ZIPs over. Notable: median household income $105,000, fair market rent of $1,140 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $389,475, up 3.7% over the past year.
