What it’s like
The place. Brunswick is a very small village in Antelope County, Nebraska, the kind of place where people tend to know one another. Household incomes run well above the county's, and fewer residents live below the poverty line than you might expect for a rural community. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, highs just around freezing and lows well below it, and a fair amount of snow most years. Summers turn warm in July, and rain and melted snow arrive in moderate amounts across the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in farming, schools, hospitals and social care, shops, and the building trades. Across Antelope County, some of the largest workplaces are Antelope Memorial Hospital, Summerland Public Schools and Neligh-Oakdale Schools. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and relatively few work from home. Unemployment across the county is low and unchanged from a year earlier, and the number of jobs has edged up slightly.
Things to do. For time outdoors, Merriman Creek and East Branch Verdigre Creek are both rivers a short drive away. Farther afield, Niobrara State Park is a protected area a longer drive off, and Ashfall Fossil Beds is another protected area a longer drive away. The Z.C.B.J. Opera House, a theatre, is also a longer drive.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Brunswick’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively 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 Antelope County.
