What it’s like
The place. Diller is a very small village in Jefferson County, Nebraska, where neighbors are likely to know one another. The population is older than in most places, with a median age well above the national one. Winters are cold and snowy, summers turn hot, and the year brings a fair amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with farming, manufacturing, and transport and warehousing also employing a good number. Hardly anyone works from home. Across Jefferson County, some of the largest workplaces are Endicott Clay Products, Fairbury Public Schools and Jefferson Community Health Center. Unemployment across the county has eased a little over the past year, and the county has added jobs.
Things to do. The Anna C. Diller Opera House, a theatre, is in or beside town. A short drive away is Rock Creek Station, a protected area, and Coon Creek, a river. For a longer outing, Homestead National Historical Park, another protected area, is a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Diller’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 Jefferson County and the Beatrice, NE metro.
