Smithfield, NE population, income and ZIP codes

Smithfield village is a very small community in Nebraska, with 115 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #442 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 25% of them. The median age here is 34.8 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 Smithfield village earn a median of $49,583 a year, 36.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 26% below 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 32.2% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Smithfield village is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $963 a month, 31.5% below the national figure, or roughly $11,556 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23.3% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. 42.1% 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.

The Census withheld home value for Smithfield 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.
