Nemaha
7.2
High score (8-10)
Nemaha County has limited warm potential — Peru State College, Nebraska's oldest institution of higher learning, adds a small student presence that's unusual for this corner of the state.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Auburn is the county seat and Peru State College in Peru (12 miles south) is Nebraska's oldest higher education institution, which gives Nemaha County a slight educational culture that most southeast Nebraska counties lack. An outsider with a Peru State connection has a natural entry point. Auburn's downtown has some historical character as an old Missouri River commercial county.
Lower score (below 6)
Auburn has about 3,400 people and Peru State College is a small rural institution — the student presence adds marginal social texture but doesn't transform the county's fundamentally closed agricultural social world. An outsider without a Peru State connection finds a small Missouri River county with limited social options.
