PEOPLE OF NEBRASKA
Southeast Region
Seven percent of Nebraskans live in the 14
counties of the Southeast region. Only five of the
14 counties in this region—four of which border
the Metro region—are home to 61% of the region's
population. Although the number of people aged
60-74 has slightly increased since the last SCORP,
more than half of the population is under 45.
