Thriving Index
Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources
The Nebraska Thriving Index is the first economic and quality-of-life benchmarking tool for rural Nebraska, giving Nebraska’s eight rural regions a snapshot of how they're faring, compared to similar areas across the upper-Midwest, in important areas such as education and skill, growth and renewal, infrastructure, and quality of life. The Thriving Index gives economic development professionals, community leaders, and others interested in the success of rural Nebraska a concrete report to identify areas in which their regions are thriving, as well as where they have room for growth. Ultimately, the Thriving Index can help community leaders develop strategies to build a better future.
