Idaho’s 44 counties, by the numbers
Every county’s population, median household income, unemployment, density, and land area — sortable by any column, so you can find yours or rank by what matters to you. A few patterns run through the data:
- Concentrated. Half of Idaho’s 1,964,726 residents live in just 4 of 44 counties, and the five largest hold 60.8% of the total. Census PEP 2023
- Income tracks poverty. The gap from richest to poorest runs 1.8×, and the 10 highest-income counties average 8.5% in poverty against 14.6% for the 10 lowest. Census SAIPE 2023
- Mostly small. Half of Idaho’s counties have fewer than 14,845 residents, and half report a median household income below $67,254 — a few metros lift the statewide totals well above both. Census PEP 2023 · SAIPE 2023
- Lopsided density. Only 17 of 44 counties are denser than Idaho’s statewide average of 24 people per square mile — the rest are more rural. Census PEP 2023 · TIGER
