10 Cities In Nebraska With The Largest Native American Population For 2019

How We Determined The Cities In Nebraska With The Largest Native American Population For 2019

We still believe in the accuracy of data — especially from the census. So that’s where we went to get the breakdown of race across Nebraska.

That lead us to the Census’s most recently available data, the 2013-2017 American Community Survey data from the US Census.

Specifically, we looked at table B03002: Hispanic OR LATINO ORIGIN BY RACE. Here are the category names as defined by the Census:

• Hispanic or Latino
• White alone*
• Black or African American alone*
• American Indian and Alaska Native alone*
• Asian alone*
• Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone*
• Some other race alone*
• Two or more races*

Our particular column of interest here was the number of people who identified as American Indian and Alaska Native alone.

We limited our analysis to places with a population greater than 5,000 people. That left us with 31 cities.

We then calculated the percent of residents that are American Indian and Alaska Native. The percentages ranked from 4.31% to 0.0%.

Finally, we ranked each city based on the percent of American Indian and Alaska Native population with a higher score being more American Indian and Alaska Native than a lower score. Chadron took the distinction of being the most American Indian and Alaska Native, while Wayne was the least Native American city.

Review Of Nebraska by HomeSnacks User

When I moved to Alliance in 1987 thought there would be a tree lighting ceremony around Christmas or community events around the holidays. But instead I found a town that has a high drug rate and crime rate.

I saw children grow up who had such potential turn into addicts.
