% of Population on Food Stamps or SNAP (Last 12 Months), by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Nebraska

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

SNAP participation rates across Nebraska zip codes exhibit a clear east-west gradient, with higher concentrations in the western panhandle and scattered rural areas, while much of the central and eastern portions of the state tend toward lower single-digit percentages. Notable hotspots exceeding 30–50% appear in a few isolated zip codes in the north-central region and along the eastern border, likely corresponding to Native American reservations and urban poverty clusters in the Omaha area. The predominantly dark purple shading across the Sandhills and south-central regions indicates broad swaths where fewer than 5% of residents receive SNAP benefits, reflecting the low-density agricultural character of those communities.
