Geneva city, NE in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Geneva city is a small town in Nebraska, with 2,214 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #58 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 90% of them. The median age here is 41.3 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 Geneva city earn a median of $79,750 a year, 1.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 18% above 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 7.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Geneva city is valued at $156,900, 48.3% below the national figure and 3% below the $161,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $731 a month, 48% below the national figure, or roughly $8,772 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 11% 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 2×, 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. 77.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
