What it’s like
The place. Coleridge is a small village in Cedar County, Nebraska, in farm country in the northeastern part of the state. It is the kind of place where people live close to one another and most things are within a short drive. Winters are cold and snowy, summers turn warm in July, and rain and melted snow add up to a moderate amount over the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, and many more work in farming, in manufacturing, or in shops. Across Cedar County, some of the largest workplaces are the Laurel-Concord-Coleridge School district, Prince Manufacturing, which makes hydraulic cylinders, and Hartington Newcastle Public Schools. Unemployment in the county is low, though the county had fewer jobs last year than the year before. A typical commute is a modest drive, and some residents work from home.
Things to do. For time outdoors, the James River and the Vermillion River are both a longer drive away, and so is Lewis and Clark Lake, a large reservoir. For something indoors, the National Music Museum is also a longer drive away. In every case, plan on making a day of it.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Coleridge’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 Cedar County.
