Crab Orchard, NE population, income and ZIP codes

Crab Orchard village is a very small community in Nebraska, with 23 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #555 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 6% of them. The median age here is 38.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Crab Orchard village earn a median of $43,750 a year, 44.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 35% below the $67,419 median for the 119 Nebraska cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 13% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Crab Orchard village is valued at $40,000, 86.8% below the national figure and 75% below the $161,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 0.9×, 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. 72.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

With 23 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Crab Orchard village against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Crab Orchard village because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
