What it’s like
The place. Arcadia is a small village in Valley County, Nebraska, with a small population. Households here earn more than the county's typical household, and relatively few residents live below the poverty line. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are hot, with July the warmest.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with farming, shops and manufacturing also common. Some of the biggest employers across Valley County are Valley County Health System, ORD Public Schools and Arcadia Public Schools. Unemployment across the county is low and has changed very little over the past year, and the county has added a small number of jobs.
Things to do. Both protected areas lie a longer drive away. Fort Hartsuff State Historical Park is a historic site, and Calamus State Recreation Area is a recreation area, both good for a day out of town.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Arcadia’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very high. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Valley County.
