The same incomes in today's dollars
$84,234 in 2025 (estimate). The median household income of each survey year restated in 2025 dollars, using the Bureau of Labor Statistics' annual average Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, U.S. city average, all items. BLS publishes no Idaho or state-level index, so the national one deflates every geography.

Caveats
- Values are single-year American Community Survey (ACS) estimates; margins of error are not shown.
- Dollar figures are in that survey year's dollars, not adjusted for inflation across years.
- One-year estimates are not comparable to the Census Bureau's 5-year estimates for the same geography or measure, even when the years overlap.
- 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.
- A metro area is the set of counties the Office of Management and Budget assigns it in that year's delineation, so its boundary can change between years; Lewiston and Logan include counties in Washington and Utah.
- Counties and metro areas have no 2022 homeowner or rental vacancy rate here.

Caveats
- Computed by Understand Idaho from American Community Survey, 1-Year Estimates and Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U), U.S. city average, all items; it is not a figure the publisher releases.
- The index is set so the average of the years 1982 through 1984 equals 100; a value is meaningful only compared with the index in another year, not against a dollar amount.
- This is CPI-U (all urban consumers), U.S. city average, all items, not seasonally adjusted. BLS publishes no Idaho or other state-level Consumer Price Index; the nearest published sub-national series is the CPI-U for the West region, a multi-state Census region that is not Idaho and is not the series stored here.
- The annual average for a year is not published until BLS has released all twelve months of that year, so the newest year in this dataset lags the current year by several months.
- BLS published an annual average for 2025 based on eleven of the twelve months: October 2025 data was not collected because of that year's lapse in appropriations, the same gap documented in this site's Unemployment (LAUS) dataset.
- Early years in this series carry one decimal place of precision and recent years carry three, exactly as BLS publishes them; this reflects a change in the Bureau's own published precision over the series' history, not a difference this site introduced.
Inputs: American Community Survey, 1-Year Estimates and Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U), U.S. city average, all items.
