Winnebago, NE population, income and ZIP codes

Winnebago village is a very small community in Nebraska, with 852 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #141 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 76% of them. The median age here is 25.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Winnebago village earn a median of $39,044 a year, 50.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 42% 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 30.8% 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 Winnebago village is valued at $60,400, 80.1% below the national figure and 63% below the $161,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $572 a month, 59.3% below the national figure, or roughly $6,864 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.6% 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 1.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 30.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

A median age of 25.4 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address. With 852 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Winnebago village against its county rather than against national figures.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
