If you are hiring from a pool of candidates who, by nature of their skills and relative wealth, lie at the 90th percentile or higher in their communities, does it really make that much of a difference? Yes SV is a bubble, but hiring people living in a similar bubble in Omaha isn't going to move the needle that much IMO.

NYT exec editor Dean Bacquet famously said(ruefully) “we don’t understand the role of religion in people’s lives”, after the ‘16 election.

There is not a single soul in Omaha who would make that statement.

The people in Omaha would probably be more likely to understand the role of religion in people's lives than the NYT exec editor, after all.

If by “people’s lives” you mean specifics “the lives of people in Omaha”, plausibly.

Otherwise, no, not really.
