Severe Storm accounts for 57% of the 14 FEMA disaster declarations on record for this ZIP.

Per USDA's Food Environment Atlas, 89.1% of residents in this county live more than 1 mile (urban) or 10 miles (rural) from the nearest supermarket — a deep food-access gap. Nebraska levies a graduated state income tax (top rate 5.20%); a household at the local median AGI of $56,240 would pay roughly $1,755/year before deductions. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net loss of 42 residents (20 households) — the ZIP's primary county is shrinking. 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 $75,625, fair market rent of $970 for a two-bedroom, and a median home value of $135,900. 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 18.0%. 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.
