About this chart

Omaha, Nebraska, had a city-limit count 29,116 higher in 2025 than in 2010, a 6.3% change. The latest Census estimate is 488,797 people within city limits, ranking 42 among US incorporated places. The displayed series peaked at 492,766 in 2020, above the latest count. The biggest annual change occurred in 2020: 15,000 more residents than the preceding estimate. This coincides with the change in Census vintages.

These figures measure Omaha within its Census incorporated-place boundaries, not the population of the surrounding metropolitan area. They are July 1 estimates, combining Vintage 2020 for 2010–2019 and Vintage 2025 for 2020 onward. City boundaries can change, and newer Census vintages revise estimates; a shift in this series cannot be attributed to migration alone. Consolidated-city balances exclude separately incorporated places. The table preserves exact resident counts, while the chart follows the annual sequence.
