Seneca CDP, NE in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Seneca CDP is a very small community in Nebraska, with 28 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #545 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 8% of them. The median age here is 51 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 Seneca CDP earn a median of $36,250 a year, 53.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 46% 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 14.3% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Seneca CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 39.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
A median age of 51 puts Seneca 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 28 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Seneca CDP against its county rather than against national figures.
The Census withheld home value, gross rent for Seneca 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.
