Nebraska's 2025 Civic Health Index

This report takes a closer look at how Nebraskans are doing across four key dimensions of civic health:

›› Civic Trust, or how much people trust their neighbors, communities, and institutions like government, schools, and businesses.

›› Civic Access, or whether people can participate fully in civic life, through broadband, transportation, local news, and inclusive public spaces.

›› Civic Action, which includes the ways people show up — by voting, volunteering, joining groups, or working with neighbors to make a difference.

›› Civic Knowledge, or how informed people are about the world around them — including news, civic education, and the democratic process.
