South Bend sits along the Platte River in Cass County, Nebraska. With a median age of 58.8 years, this is one of Nebraska's older communities. The 249 year-round residents live in a small village where waterfront streets like Middle Island Drive and Lake Park Drive hint at its recreational character.
Half the housing stock is vacant most of the year. Of 219 total housing units, 102 are seasonal properties. That's 46.6% seasonal vacancy, indicating a community that swells during summer months and quiets in winter. Year-round occupancy is just 107 homes.
The South Bend post office maintains 45 PO Boxes serving 107 occupied households. That's a 42% adoption rate. Despite the ZIP's PO Box classification, rural carrier routes deliver to 76 addresses across 12 streets. Two rural routes serve the area, covering single-family homes along Pine Street, Spruce Street, and addresses near the waterfront.
This isn't a PO Box Only Zone. Residents have the option of street delivery or a PO Box. The mix of delivery methods is typical for a small Nebraska village where some homes predate modern addressing systems and seasonal residents prefer boxes for mail security.
Median household income is $129,479, well above Nebraska averages. Median home value is $473,300. These figures suggest a retirement and vacation community rather than a working village. Among workers, 33.3% work from home, and 30 use public transit (likely commuting to Omaha, 25 miles northeast).
