Goehner, NE

ZIP code 68364 is assigned to Goehner, NE, and falls within Seward County. Like every US postal code, it began as a mail-routing device rather than a geographic boundary — the US Postal Service groups delivery routes under a single code so carriers and sorting equipment can process mail efficiently. Today it also serves as a practical shorthand for the area itself: roughly 250 people live inside it.

At 251 residents per square mile spread over 0.997 square miles, 68364 reads as a small-town area. It is a sparsely populated postal code, and density shapes almost everything else on this page — how people get to work, whether they own or rent, and what housing costs.

Household earnings run above the national median. At $94,083, 68364 sits comfortably in the upper half, ahead of 79% of them. The US median for comparison is $70,109. Bear in mind that median income describes the midpoint household, not the average — it is not pulled upward by a handful of very high earners the way a mean would be.

Housing in 68364 costs below the national median. A typical home is valued at $159,200 against a US median of $207,500. Ownership dominates: 96.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, which usually signals an established residential area with relatively low turnover.

The building stock is dominated by detached single-family houses, which account for 99.1% of housing units here. The median construction year is 1970, making the housing here from the later twentieth century. At 2.6%, vacancy is low — housing here is tightly held.

The population skews considerably older than the national median, with a median age of 63.4 against 42 nationally. The average household holds 2.19 people, and 50.0% are family households.

Getting to work takes 27.6 minutes on average one way. The dominant mode is drove alone at 77.5% of workers.

Beyond addressing mail, 68364 does a lot of quiet administrative work. Retailers use it to calculate shipping and sales tax at checkout. Insurers use it to set premiums, since risk profiles vary geographically. Employers and marketers use it to define service areas. Government agencies use it to route benefits and organise reporting. If you have ever been asked for a postal code by a form that clearly does not intend to send you anything, this is why.

For anyone weighing a move, 68364 offers a compact profile of Goehner: 250 residents, a median household income of $94,083, 18.1% of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher, and an unemployment rate of 1.4%. A handful of figures like these answer more relocation questions than most neighbourhood guides do.

One caution worth repeating: a postal code is not a neighbourhood. 68364 may cover parts of several distinct areas, and a single neighbourhood in Goehner may be split across more than one code. Boundaries also shift as USPS adjusts delivery routes. Treat the figures here as describing a delivery area, which is what they actually measure.
