City and metro context
The Omaha metro area

Use the metro list as location context, not as proof of residence: a matching city still needs another independent anchor before records belong together.
Population figures are American Community Survey five-year estimates for the part of each metro area inside Nebraska.
They describe the region, not a count of records or people held by Recordwell.
