How to prepare and behave

This is editorial guidance, not information from the employer.

Know your rights as a candidate and an employee:

The city

The job is in Omaha, NE. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.

How Omaha compares. Among the 40 largest places in Nebraska, Omaha is #1 by population, #3 for remote work (#1 = most), #6 for college degrees (#1 = most), #34 for homeownership (#1 = highest). Its county, Douglas County, is #2 of 93 counties for average pay ($67,868).

The place in numbers

Omaha has 488,837 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 24.7% of the population of Nebraska. It covers 143 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 3,420 people per square mile. The median age is 35.3, 5% younger than the state median (35.3 against 37.2).

Housing

The median gross rent is $1,187 a month (rent plus utilities), 11% above the state median ($1,187 against $1,072). Over a year that is 19.5% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $245,500, which is 3.4 times the median household income ($73,201); a ratio under 4 usually means ownership is within reach for many households. 57.4% of households own their home, 14% below the state average (57.4% against 66.5%).

Work and pay

The Omaha, NE-IA metropolitan area has 498,100 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $49,660 a year, about the same as the national median ($49,660 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are office and administrative support (55,630 jobs, median $47,100); food preparation and serving related (48,260 jobs, median $34,270); sales and related (43,380 jobs, median $37,540). The area is most specialised in personal care and service (1.4 times) and construction and extraction (1.2 times), where the share of workers is above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($108,120) and computer and mathematical ($96,400). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Douglas County was 2.6%. 69.0% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Douglas County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.

Getting around

Among workers, 71.8% drive alone, 1.0% use public transit, 1.7% walk, 15.1% work from home. 5.2% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 26% below the state average (5.2% against 7.0%). Remote work is more common than in the state as a whole, which widens the set of employers a resident can work for without moving.

People and education

40.1% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 16% above the state share (40.1% against 34.6%). 11.3% of residents were born outside the United States, 41% above the state share (11.3% against 8.0%). The poverty rate is 13.5%, 27% above the state rate (13.5% against 10.6%).

Climate

The warmest month is Jul, averaging 78°F (25.5°C), and the coolest is Jan at 23°F (-5.1°C). About 786 mm (31 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; May is the wettest month (121 mm) and Jan the driest (19 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.

Nearby cities to compare

Closest cities in this guide: Ralston (4 miles, similar rent); La Vista (6 miles, rent 11% higher); Chalco (7 miles, similar rent); Papillion (8 miles, rent 7% higher). Rent differences are against Omaha; use the Compare tab to put any two cities side by side.
