Moorefield, NE population, income and ZIP codes

Moorefield village is a very small community in Nebraska, with 37 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #531 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 10% of them. The median age here is 70.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Moorefield village earn a median of $32,321 a year, 58.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 52% below the $67,419 median for the 119 Nebraska cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 5.4% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Moorefield village is valued at $321,400, 5.9% above the national figure and 99% above the $161,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 9.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is out of reach on local earnings alone and the ownership market leans on outside income, equity or dual high earners. 64.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

Home values sit at 9.9× median household income, far past the 3.9× national mark, so ownership costs here are set by something other than local wages — second homes, retirees with equity, or commuters earning elsewhere. A median age of 70.9 puts Moorefield village well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages.

The Census withheld gross rent for Moorefield 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.
