Nebraska saw steady population growth over the last year as counted by the US Census Bureau.

The Center for Public Affairs Research’s David Drozd at the University of University-Omaha says population growth has been strong enough to calm any fears of losing a Congressional seat. . .

Nebraska added more than 11-Thousand people over the last year, good enough growth to rank 20th among the states.

Drozd says businesses often incorporate population as part of their locating process. . .

Nebraska has a population of 1-point-93 million. Drozd doesn’t see Nebraska reaching two-million by 2020 but does believe the state will reach the mark shortly thereafter.
