Humphrey city, NE in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Humphrey city is a very small community in Nebraska, with 701 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #166 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 72% of them. The median age here is 34.7 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 Humphrey city earn a median of $69,732 a year, 11.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 3% 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 5.4% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Humphrey city is valued at $224,000, 26.2% below the national figure and 38% above the $161,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $693 a month, 50.7% below the national figure, or roughly $8,316 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 11.9% 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 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 86.6% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
