Schuyler, NE (ZIP 68661) sits in Colfax County. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: Health Insurance comes in above the national average at 26.0%. NCES lists 6 schools serving the area, 6 non-charter. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $60,981, well above the ~$45K national average per return. Pinnacle Bank holds 69% of FDIC-reported deposits in this ZIP (2024) — a notably concentrated local banking market. FEMA has issued 20 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1966 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Premature-mortality burden is comparatively low at 4,195 years of potential life lost per 100,000 (County Health Rankings, 2025). 31.6% 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 $60,981 would pay roughly $1,903/year before deductions. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net loss of 97 residents (57 households) — the ZIP's primary county is shrinking. Both healthcare access and on-paper school density skew lighter than national norms; what shows up here is a snapshot, not a verdict — neighborhood-level texture matters at this scale. Notable: median household income $72,088, fair market rent of $1,120 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $229,534, up 8.4% 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.

Both surfaces skew lighter than national averages. That isn’t a verdict — small-area estimates compress real neighborhood-level texture, and a single ZIP reading can miss a district line or a hospital corridor sitting just outside it. Treat this as a starting point for fieldwork, not a conclusion.
