Median Age by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Nebraska

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Nebraska's median age distribution reveals a clear urban-youth pattern, with the Omaha metropolitan area in the east and Lincoln showing notably lower median ages (dark teal/purple tones, roughly 25–35), consistent with concentrations of universities and younger working-age populations. Rural western and central Nebraska zip codes skew considerably older, with numerous areas reaching median ages of 50–60 (yellow tones), particularly in the Sandhills region and along the northern border. Scattered pockets of very low median ages in south-central Nebraska likely correspond to meatpacking and agricultural processing communities that attract younger immigrant labor forces.
