Caveats

  • Values are single-year estimates; margins of error are not shown.
  • Dollar figures are in that survey year's dollars, not adjusted for inflation across years.
  • 1-year estimates are not comparable to 5-year estimates (census-acs5) for the same geography or metric.
  • There is no standard 2020 ACS 1-year release: the Census Bureau replaced it with experimental COVID-19 estimates, so 2020 is omitted here.
  • Place figures are for the incorporated city as the Census Bureau defines its boundary, not the metro area or county.
  • Which of Idaho's places clear the 65,000-person floor for 1-year estimates can vary by year.
  • The race and ethnicity breakdown uses table B03002, not B02001, whose race categories double-count people who are also Hispanic or Latino.
