What it’s like
The place. Wymore is a small city in Gage County where most homes are lived in by their owners, and homes cost less than in much of the country. Household incomes run below the county's, and winters are cold, with January the coldest month and a fair amount of snow, while July brings the warmest weather. Few adults hold a four-year degree.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and the building trades also employing many. Across Gage County, some of the largest workplaces are Exmark Manufacturing Co, Beatrice Community Hospital and Landmark Snacks. Hardly anyone works from home, and the typical commute is a short drive.
Things to do. The best known place nearby is Homestead National Historical Park, a protected area a longer drive away. Also a longer drive away is the Anna C. Diller Opera House, a theatre, and Rock Creek Station, another protected area. The Little Blue River is a river that can be reached with a longer drive as well.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Wymore’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 Gage County and the Beatrice, NE metro.
