What these numbers say together
Alvo, NE (ZIP 68304) sits in Cass County within the Omaha metro area. The page draws on 1 federal data feed retrieved Apr 24. Top health signal: Health Insurance comes in below the national average at 6.7%. No NCES schools are mapped to this ZIP in the current dataset. 1 college or university serves the area, with median in-state tuition of $43,985. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $78,195, well above the ~$45K national average per return. BLS QCEW reports average annual pay of $51,481 per worker, roughly 21% below the US average. Social vulnerability is low in this ZIP at the 8th percentile (CDC SVI), reflecting strong baseline resilience to public-health emergencies and natural disasters. FEMA has issued 27 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1967 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Median daily AQI is just 17 per EPA AQS (2024), comfortably inside the Good range, with PM10 as the primary pollutant on most measured days. Only 5.9% of residents under 65 are uninsured (County Health Rankings, 2025) — well below the national county median. Nebraska levies a graduated state income tax (top rate 5.20%); a household at the local median AGI of $78,195 would pay roughly $2,440/year before deductions. New residents arriving here predominantly come from Sarpy County, NE (IRS SOI Migration, 2022-2023). 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 $80,179, fair market rent of $1,110 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $279,078, up 7.8% over the past year. Every figure on this page links to its underlying federal dataset with a retrieval date so you can audit the freshness yourself.
The two domains pull in different directions. Healthcare access reads strong, but the on-paper school count is on the lighter side — that’s less a quality signal and more a density one. Households here often look at districts a few ZIPs over for school choice while keeping their providers local.
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits lower the national rate at 18.5%. Each figure on this page links to the original federal dataset with its retrieval date — this synthesis is a reading, not a substitute for the underlying records.
