Analysis# Nebraska Population Analysis
Nebraska's population of 1,992,555 in 2024 represents modest growth of 9.1% over the past decade, positioning it as the 38th most populous state. The state's growth trajectory has significantly slowed compared to its peak performance in the 1910s, when Nebraska experienced its highest decadal growth rate during a period of agricultural expansion. This long-term deceleration reflects broader demographic shifts away from rural, agriculture-dependent regions toward metropolitan centers in faster-growing states.
