What it’s like
The place. Geneva is a small city and the seat of Fillmore County, Nebraska. Residents are somewhat older than in most of the country, and most households own the homes they live in. Incomes run a little above the county's, and fewer people live below the poverty line than in many places. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while July brings warm summer days, and the year sees a fair amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in shops, manufacturing and other services. Among the largest workplaces in Geneva are Fillmore County Hospital, Fillmore Central Public Schools and Vetter Senior Living. A small share of residents work from home, and unemployment across Fillmore County is low and has held steady over the past year.
Things to do. Warren's Opera House is a theatre and the best known of the nearby places, a longer drive away. Also a longer drive away is Lee's Legendary Marbles and Collectables, a museum, and Junction Motor Speedway, a race track. Together they make for a day out of town.

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