Grant city, NE in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Grant city is a small town in Nebraska, with 1,392 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #92 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 84% of them. The median age here is 39.5 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 Grant city earn a median of $70,000 a year, 10.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 4% 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 9.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Grant city is valued at $148,800, 51% below the national figure and 8% below the $161,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $946 a month, 32.7% below the national figure, or roughly $11,352 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.2% 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 2.1×, 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. 75.1% 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.

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.
