York city, NE in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

York city is a mid-size town in Nebraska, with 8,114 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #20 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 96% of them. The median age here is 38.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in York city earn a median of $62,632 a year, 20.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 7% below the $67,419 median for the 119 Nebraska cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 10.8% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in York city is valued at $170,900, 43.7% below the national figure and 6% above the $161,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $887 a month, 36.9% below the national figure, or roughly $10,644 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17% 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 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 67.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
