Wood Lake, NE population, income and ZIP codes

Wood Lake village is a very small community in Nebraska, with 18 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #560 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 5% of them. The median age here is 74.7 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.

With 18 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Wood Lake village against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld household income, home value, gross rent for Wood Lake 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.
