Cuming County, NE

West Point, Nebraska has about 3,471 people. That count is a 2020–2024 Census average, not a headcount from one day.

A typical home is worth about $202,200.

HUD's fair-market rent for a 2-bedroom in Cuming County is $1,014 a month. That is the county number, not an apartment listing in West Point. It runs from October 2026 through September 2027.

Nebraska's prices sit at 90.1 when the U.S. average is 100. This place is not in a metro area with its own index, so this is the state number from BEA for 2024.

Nebraska taxes wages. A typical combined sales tax is 7.0% as of January 1, 2026. That mix is statewide, not West Point's exact store tax.

In July 2026, a typical Nebraska home paid 13.78¢ per kilowatt-hour. That is a state average from EIA, not West Point's bill.

EIA did not publish a 2025 all-grades gas price for Nebraska in the table we use.
