What it’s like
The place. Eagle is a small village in Cass County, Nebraska, and almost everyone who lives here owns their home. Incomes run below the county's, and very few residents live below the poverty line. The population skews younger than in many small towns, and fewer adults hold a four-year degree than you might expect. Winters are cold and summers are warm, with a moderate amount of rain and melted snow across the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in transport, warehouses and utilities, manufacturing, and the building trades. Across Cass County, some of the largest workplaces are Plattsmouth Community Schools, Hy-Vee and Liquid Trucking. Unemployment in the county is low and has barely moved from a year ago, and the commute is a fairly typical one, with a small share of people working from home.
Things to do. Eagle Raceway is a race track in or beside town. A longer drive brings you to Eugene T. Mahoney State Park, a protected area, and to the Strategic Air and Space Museum. Lee G. Simmons Wildlife Safari Park, a zoo, is also 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 Eagle’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. 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 Cass County and the Omaha-Council Bluffs, NE-IA metro.
