From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
There were 162 households out of which 26.5% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 56.2% were married couples living together, 9.3% had a female householder with no husband present, and 32.1% were non-families. 29.6% of all households were made up of individuals and 18.5% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.25 and the average family size was 2.74.
In the city the population was spread out with 23.6% under the age of 18, 4.1% from 18 to 24, 24.2% from 25 to 44, 22.8% from 45 to 64, and 25.3% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 43 years. For every 100 females there were 81.1 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 82.9 males.
The median income for a household in the city was $26,771, and the median income for a family was $35,938. Males had a median income of $27,188 versus $20,000 for females. The per capita income for the city was $14,259. About 11.7% of families and 14.0% of the population were below the poverty line, including 12.0% of those under age 18 and 15.2% of those age 65 or over.
NEVIS Township and its railway village were probably named either for Ben Nevis in western Scotland, the highest mountain of Great Britain, or for Nevis, an island of the West Indies. The city, in sections 3 and 10, was incorporated as a village on February 4, 1902, and again on April 9, 1921, at which time it separated from the township; the post office began in 1899.
