The Numbers

Greater Omaha’s data is just as good as its story.

Research shows Greater Omaha performs strongly on many of the factors people value most: including housing value, commute times, childcare access and K–12 education. The opportunity in front of us is to pair those strengths with more visible career pathways, competitive opportunities and a stronger, shared story about what it means to build a future here.

#1

tied with Dallas on the composite score of six peer metros

Omaha leads on home values, commutes, childcare access, and K–12 quality — and has the best living wage of the group once cost of living is counted.

6

of 6 on wages — what talent named most important

Omaha ranks last of the six peer metros on wages. Density of employment opportunity and wages are the primary factors inhibiting net population growth.

47%

are open to leaving Omaha
Nearly half of residents report considering leaving — most often naming Dallas, Denver, and Minneapolis — and nearly half cannot see a path to advancement here.

Neutral

perception of Omaha among the talent we need
Omaha’s barrier is awareness, not opportunity. Employers are the first and most trusted source a candidate has.

Why this works

Acknowledgement → support → change.
