What it’s like
The place. Juniata is a small village in Adams County, Nebraska, where most homes are lived in by their owners. Household incomes are somewhat below the county's, and fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in many towns. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers turn hot by July, with a moderate year-round mix of rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops, and restaurants and hotels also employing many. Across Adams County, the largest workplaces include Mary Lanning Memorial Hospital, Hastings Public Schools and Trane Technologies. Most people have a short drive to work, and few work from home. Jobs across the county slipped a little last year, while unemployment there stayed low and close to where it stood a year earlier.
Things to do. The Hastings Museum is a museum a short drive away. Farther afield, a longer drive brings you to Fort Kearny, a historic fort, and to Pioneer Village, another museum. The IOOF Hall and Opera House, a theatre, 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 Juniata’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 Adams County and the Hastings, NE metro.
