Cairo village, NE in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Cairo village is a small town in Nebraska, with 1,117 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #110 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 81% of them. The median age here is 31.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Cairo village earn a median of $55,179 a year, 29.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 18% below the $67,419 median for the 119 Nebraska cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 7.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Cairo village is valued at $184,000, 39.4% below the national figure and 14% above the $161,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $805 a month, 42.7% below the national figure, or roughly $9,660 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.5% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 63.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
