ZIP Code 68847

Households in ZIP code 68847, centered on Kearney, earn a median of $73,818, while per-capita income reaches $40,176 — a middle-income profile that sits above many rural Nebraska areas but below the state's wealthiest suburbs. Homes here carry a median value of $238,400, and the county-level property tax rate of 1.44% means owners pay a meaningful share of that value each year. Add a 7.00% combined sales tax on purchases, and the overall tax load lands squarely in middle-income territory: steady earnings, steady obligations, without the extremes of either poverty or affluence.
