Household Average Size by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Nebraska

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The eastern edge of Nebraska, particularly the Omaha and Lincoln metro areas, displays notable heterogeneity, with several zip codes reaching household sizes above 3.0 (likely suburban family-oriented communities) sitting adjacent to zip codes below 2.0 (likely urban cores or college areas such as Lincoln). The western and central Sandhills region trends toward moderate household sizes in the 2.2–2.6 range, while scattered rural zip codes throughout the south-central portion show pockets of larger households (2.8–3.2), potentially reflecting agricultural family households or communities with higher concentrations of Latino populations. A distinct cluster of very low household sizes (1.5–1.8, shown in deep purple) appears in several mid-state towns, likely corresponding to communities with aging populations or institutional housing.
