What it’s like

The place. Verdigre is a small village in Knox County, Nebraska, where most homes are lived in by their owners and typical home values sit at a modest level. Poverty is more common here than in many places, and few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers turn properly hot in July. The year brings a moderate amount of rain and melted snow.

Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, in banks, insurance and property, and in shops. Across Knox County, some of the largest workplaces are Michael Foods, an egg producer, Isanti Community School, and Avera Creighton Hospital. Commutes are short, very few people work from home, and the county's job market has held steady, with unemployment unchanged from a year earlier.

Things to do. The Z.C.B.J. Opera House, a theatre, is in or beside town. Niobrara State Park, a protected area, is a short drive away, as is Verdigre Creek, which gives the village its name. For a longer outing, the Niobrara River and the Ashfall Fossil Beds, another protected area, are a longer drive away.
