Sarben, NE population, income and ZIP codes

Sarben CDP is a very small community in Nebraska, with 13 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #573 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 3% of them. The median age here is 59.8 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 Sarben CDP earn a median of not published a year. 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 0% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Sarben CDP is valued at $325,000, 7.1% above the national figure and 101% above the $161,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 100% 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.

A median age of 59.8 puts Sarben CDP 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. With 13 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Sarben CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld household income, gross rent for Sarben CDP 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.
