Cedar Bluffs, NE population, income and ZIP codes

Cedar Bluffs village is a very small community in Nebraska, with 760 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #154 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 74% of them. The median age here is 40.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. 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 Cedar Bluffs village earn a median of $82,031 a year, 4.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 22% above the $67,419 median for the 119 Nebraska cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 15.2% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Cedar Bluffs village is valued at $148,200, 51.2% below the national figure and 8% below the $161,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,089 a month, 22.5% below the national figure, or roughly $13,068 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.9% 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 1.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 85.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

Median income runs above the national figure while poverty also runs above it — a split distribution, not a uniformly comfortable place. Averages hide that; the two numbers together do not. With 760 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Cedar Bluffs village against its county rather than against national figures.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
