Stella, Nebraska
Stella is a village in Richardson County, Nebraska, United States. The population was 150 at the 2020 census. History The earliest settlers in the Stella area arrived in about 1855. An August 1881 public meeting of local farmers led to an arrangement for the Missouri Pacific Railroad to be extended to that point. Stella was platted the same year, and was named for Stella Clark, the daughter of the original owner of the town site. The track reached Stella in December 1881 and a station building was raised on January 7, 1882. The village was incorporated in 1882 and grew quickly. By fall 1882 there were 25 business firms in town. A 56-page "Souvenir" of the Stella Press was issued on April 1, 1901, recounting the steady growth of the town to that point, which proved to be the peak of the town population. By that time there were five churches: the Baptist, Methodist, Christian, Lutheran, and Church of Christ Scientist. Residents had a choice of nine lodges and a number of social o ...

Village (United States)
In the United States, the meaning of village varies by geographic area and legal jurisdiction. In many areas, "village" is a term, sometimes informal, for a type of administrative division at the local government level. Since the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution prohibits the federal government from legislating on local government, the states are free to have political subdivisions called "villages" or not to and to define the word in many ways. Typically, a village is a type of municipality, although it can also be a special district or an unincorporated area. It may or may not be recognized for governmental purposes. In informal usage, a U.S. village may be simply a relatively small clustered human settlement without formal legal existence. In colonial New England, a village typically formed around the meetinghouses that were located in the center of each town.Joseph S. Wood (2002), The New England Village', Johns Hopkins University Press Many of these colon ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Census
A census is the procedure of systematically acquiring, recording and calculating information about the members of a given population. This term is used mostly in connection with national population and housing censuses; other common censuses include censuses of agriculture, traditional culture, business, supplies, and traffic censuses. The United Nations (UN) defines the essential features of population and housing censuses as "individual enumeration, universality within a defined territory, simultaneity and defined periodicity", and recommends that population censuses be taken at least every ten years. UN recommendations also cover census topics to be collected, official definitions, classifications and other useful information to co-ordinate international practices. The UN's Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), in turn, defines the census of agriculture as "a statistical operation for collecting, processing and disseminating data on the structure of agriculture, covering th ...

Southeast Nebraska Consolidated Schools
Southeast Nebraska Consolidated Schools (ID#74-0501-000, a.k.a. District 70) was a school district in Nebraska. Its school was in Stella. In addition to Stella, the district included Barada, Bratton Union, Higgins, Nemaha, and Shubert. The consolidated school opened in 1968. The school community made the decision to close the school district because the number of pupils was declining and because the state was sending fewer dollars to the district. On January 1, 2009, it merged into the Humboldt Table Rock Steinauer School District. The majority of the students were to move on to that district, though some were to attend Falls City Public Schools or Johnson Brock School District.

Poverty Line
The poverty threshold, poverty limit, poverty line or breadline is the minimum level of income deemed adequate in a particular country. The poverty line is usually calculated by estimating the total cost of one year's worth of necessities for the average adult.Poverty Lines – Martin Ravallion, in The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics, 2nd Edition, London: Palgrave Macmillan The cost of housing, such as the rent for an apartment, usually makes up the largest proportion of this estimate, so economists track the real estate market and other housing cost indicators as a major influence on the poverty line. Individual factors are often used to account for various circumstances, such as whether one is a parent, elderly, a child, married, etc. The poverty threshold may be adjusted annually. In practice, like the definition of poverty, the official or common understanding of the poverty line is significantly higher in developed countries than in developing countries. In October 20 ...

Per Capita Income
Per capita income (PCI) or total income measures the average income earned per person in a given area (city, region, country, etc.) in a specified year. It is calculated by dividing the area's total income by its total population. Per capita income is national income divided by population size. Per capita income is often used to measure a sector's average income and compare the wealth of different populations. Per capita income is also often used to measure a country's standard of living. It is usually expressed in terms of a commonly used international currency such as the euro or United States dollar, and is useful because it is widely known, is easily calculable from readily available gross domestic product (GDP) and population estimates, and produces a useful statistic for comparison of wealth between sovereign territories. This helps to ascertain a country's development status. It is one of the three measures for calculating the Human Development Index of a country. Per ...
