What it’s like
The place. Lisco is a small community in Garden County, in the western part of Nebraska. Its winters are colder than most of the country's, and its summers are hot. Rain and melted snow arrive over the year in moderate amounts, so the seasons are clearly marked here.
Work. Many residents work in farming, forestry and mining, and others work in schools, hospitals and social care, in the building trades, or in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Unemployment has stayed at about the same low level as a year earlier, though the number of jobs in the county dipped slightly in the most recent year.
Things to do. Ash Hollow State Historical Park is an archaeological site that lies a longer drive away and is the best known of the nearby places listed. Crescent Lake National Wildlife Refuge, a protected area also a longer drive away, offers a quieter outing. Lodgepole Opera House, a theatre, is another option at a longer drive.

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