Population Migration Trends

Total population change is a combination of births, deaths,

and the net migration of those arriving in and leaving the state.

The result of births minus deaths is termed the “natural

increase.” As calculated from data shown in Table II.53.3, the

2019 population estimates showed a natural decrease of 88

persons since 2010. Between 2010 and 2019, Kimball

County’s population decreased from 3,821 in 2010 to 3,632

in 2019, or by 4.9 percent.

The Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) collects

data on drivers who move to Nebraska and exchange licenses

from other states as well as those surrendering Nebraska

driver’s licenses when relocating to a different state. The

NDOT data does not represent a precise count of migration,

as they show only the net change in the number of driver’s

licenses, but the data indicate the general direction of population movement.

As can be seen in Table II.53.4, the most recent first half of 2020 data saw a total net out-migration

of 30 persons, with a total of 87 persons entering Kimball County and 117 persons leaving Kimball

County.

Table II.53.7 shows migration data for Panhandle Region between 2012 and 2018. This data comes

from the IRS, which tracks address changes between filing years. As a result, this dataset might

underrepresent low-income people who are less likely to file taxes. This dataset also excludes tax

returns filed after late September. Taxpayers who file after late September are likely to have complex

returns that report high income, which means this dataset will also underreport the very wealthy.

Census Demographic Data

Census data is presented in one of four Summary Files (SF). In the 1980, 1990, and 2000 decennial

censuses, the Census Bureau released the full SF1 100 percent count data106, along with additional

tabulations including the one-in-six SF3 sample. The Census Bureau did not collect additional sample

data such as the SF3 in the 2010 decennial census, so many important housing and income concepts

are not available in the 2010 Census.

To study these important housing and income concepts, the Census Bureau distributes the American

Community Survey (ACS) every year to a sample of the population, then quantifies the results as one-

, three- and five-year averages. The one-year sample only includes responses from the year the survey

was implemented, while the five-year sample includes responses over a five-year period. The five-

year estimates are more robust than the one- or three-year samples because they include more

responses and can be tabulated down to the Census tract level.

The Census Bureau collects race data according to U.S. Office of Management and Budget guidelines,

and these data are based on self-identification. Ancestry refers to one’s ethnic origin or descent,

"roots," or heritage, or the place of birth of the person or the person’s parents or ancestors before

their arrival in the United States. Ethnic identities may or may not represent geographic areas. People

may choose to report more than one race group and people of any race may be of any ethnic origin.

Hispanic origin can be viewed as the heritage, nationality, lineage, or country of birth of the person

or the person’s parents or ancestors before arriving in the United States. People who identify as

Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish may be any race.

Poverty

Poverty is the condition of having insufficient resources or

income. In its extreme form, poverty is a lack of basic human

needs, such as adequate and healthy food, clothing, housing,

water, and health services. According to the Census Bureau’s

of individuals in poverty decreased from 489 in 2010 to 433 in

2019, with the poverty rate reaching 12.2 percent in 2019. This

compared to a state poverty rate of 9.9 percent and a national

rate of 12.3 percent in 2019. Table II.53.36 presents poverty

data for the county. Diagram II.53.14 displays the SAIPE

estimated poverty rates for Kimball County compared to the

State of Nebraska from 2000 to 2019.

The rate of poverty for Kimball County is shown in Table

II.53.37. In 2019, the poverty rate was 10.8 percent meaning

there were an estimated 388 people living in poverty, compared

to 397 people living in poverty in 2010. In 2019, some 17.9

percent of those in poverty were under age 6 and 16.4 percent

Housing Problems

The Census identified the following four housing problems in the CHAS data. Households are

considered to have housing problems if they have one of more of the four problems.

85. Housing unit lacks complete kitchen facilities;

86. Housing unit lacks complete plumbing facilities;

87. Household is overcrowded; and

88. Household is cost burdened.

Overcrowding is defined as having from 1.1 to 1.5 people per room per residence, with severe

overcrowding defined as having more than 1.5 people per room. Households with overcrowding are

shown in Table II.53.52. In 2019, an estimated 0.6 percent of households were overcrowded, and

an additional 0 percent were severely overcrowded.

Incomplete plumbing and kitchen facilities are another indicator of potential housing problems.

According to the Census Bureau, a housing unit is classified as lacking complete plumbing facilities

when any of the following are not present: piped hot and cold water, a flush toilet, and a bathtub or

shower. Likewise, a unit is categorized as deficient when any of the following are missing from the

kitchen: a sink with piped hot and cold water, a range or cook top and oven, and a refrigerator. This

data is displayed in Table II.53.53 and Table II.53.54, below.

There were a total of 12 households with incomplete plumbing facilities in 2019, representing 0.8

percent of households in Kimball County. This is compared to 1.1 percent of households lacking

complete plumbing facilities in 2010.

Cost burden is defined as gross housing costs that range from 30.0 to 50.0 percent of gross household

income; severe cost burden is defined as gross housing costs that exceed 50.0 percent of gross

household income. For homeowners, gross housing costs include property taxes, insurance, energy

payments, water and sewer service, and refuse collection. If the homeowner has a mortgage, the

determination also includes principal and interest payments on the mortgage loan. For renters, this

figure represents monthly rent and selected electricity and natural gas energy charges.

percent had a severe cost burden. Some 14.4 percent of renters were cost burdened, and 12.2 percent

were severely cost burdened. Owner-occupied households without a mortgage had a cost burden

rate of 8.6 percent and a severe cost burden rate of 5.6 percent. Owner occupied households with a

with very few for new construction. During fiscal years 1999 through 2020, there were 1,088

property transactions in Kimball County. Of these, 1,021 were for single-family homes during this

21-year period, as shown in Table II.53.56.

these property transactions are seen even though a single-family new construction permit was probably not issued for the manufactured

home. 109 Price per sq. ft. may not compute precisely due to rounding-off of sales price and floor area.

Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS)

The following table set shows Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data. If a data

point is not available or is missing, a “.” or “%” will be present in its place. To make this dataset more

accessible to the average user the income brackets were replaced with actual HUD Area Median

Family Income (HAMFI/MFI) from Kimball County. Below is a table showing the MFI breakdown:

Housing Problems by Income, Race, and Tenure

Table II.53.61 through Table II.53.66 show households with housing problems by race/ethnicity.

These tables can be used to determine if there is a disproportionate housing need for any racial or

ethnic groups. If any racial/ethnic group faces housing problems at a rate of ten percentage points or

higher than the jurisdiction average, then they have a disproportionate share of housing problems.

Housing problems are defined as any household that has overcrowding, inadequate kitchen or

plumbing facilities, or are cost burdened (pay more than 30 percent of their income on housing). In

Kimball County, housing problems are faced by 220 White homeowner households, 0 Black

homeowner households, 4 Asian homeowner households, and 4 Hispanic homeowner households.

As seen in Table II.53.71 and Table II.53.72, the most common housing problem tends to be housing

cost burdens. More than 243 households have a cost burden and 109 have a severe cost burden.

Some 83 renter households are impacted by cost burdens, and 54 are impacted by severe cost

burdens. On the other hand, some 160 owner-occupied households have cost burdens, and 55 have

severe cost burdens. Overall there are 1,140 households without a housing problem.

Cost Burdens

For owner occupied housing, elderly non-family households are most likely to be impacted by

housing cost burdens, with 38.2 percent of these households having a cost burden or severe cost

burden. For lower income owner households, elderly non-family households and large families are

most likely to experience cost burdens. Some 58.8 percent of elderly non-family and 0 percent of

large family households below 30 percent MFI face cost burdens or severe cost burdens. These data

are shown in Table II.53.73

Lead-Based Paint Risks

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), older homes are more likely to contain

lead-based paint, which is one of the most common causes of lead poisoning. A home built between

1960 and 1977 has a 24 percent chance of containing lead-based paint, while a home built from

1940 to 1959 has a 69 percent chance of containing lead-based paint. Homes built before 1940 have

the highest rate of lead-based paint at 87 percent110.

Table II.53.76 shows the risk of lead-based paint for households with young children present. As seen

therein, there are an estimated 155 households built between 1940 and 1979 with young children

present, and 24 built prior to 1939.
