However, it isn’t all ideal in Nebraska. There are some issues with this state you should be aware of. First, there is a big issue with so-called “rural flight”. Nebraska has disproportional population density, with 89% of the cities having less than 3,000 residents and hundreds of towns having less than 1,000 residents. Another possible problem is climate, which can vary a lot. In every part of the state seasonal variations of both rainfall and temperatures happen. The summers can get unbearably hot and winters freezingly cold. Of course, there is that thing with tornados, but we don’t want to frighten you more than needed.
