What it’s like
The place. Beaver Crossing is a very small village in Seward County, Nebraska, where nearly everyone owns the home they live in. Incomes in the village run below the county's, and a good share of residents live below the poverty line. Winters are cold, with a fair amount of snow, and summers turn properly warm.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in transport, warehouses and utilities, in manufacturing, or in government. Across Seward County, some of the biggest workplaces are Concordia University-Nebraska, the auto-parts maker Tenneco, and the structural wood manufacturer Hughes Brothers. The typical commute is a fairly long one, and a small share of people work from home.
Things to do. Warren's Opera House is a theatre a short drive away. A longer drive brings you to Salt Creek, a river, and to Conestoga Lake, a reservoir. The Museum of American Speed is also a longer drive away.

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 Seward County and the Lincoln, NE metro.
