Caveats
- Each figure is a December 31 snapshot. Household figures come from tenant reports with effective dates spanning about the prior 18 months, so some are older than the snapshot.
- The programs counted are public housing, Housing Choice Vouchers (including project-based vouchers), Moderate Rehabilitation, Project Based Section 8, Rent Supplement and Rental Assistance Payment contracts, Section 236 and Below Market Interest Rate homes, and the Section 202 and Section 811 programs for seniors and people with disabilities. Homes built only with Low-Income Housing Tax Credits, and USDA Rural Development housing, are not in this dataset.
- HUD hides small and poorly reported cells: a figure is left out when fewer than 11 households were reported, or when reports came in for fewer than half of occupied units. Small counties therefore show unit counts but often no people, income or waiting-time figures, and a county can drop out of a series for a year.
- Idaho's county figures add up to slightly less than the state figure, because HUD reports a few units it could not place in any county only in the state total.
- Units are homes under a federal subsidy contract and available for occupancy; people are everyone in those households, so one voucher can cover several people. A program with a unit count of zero but residents (for example the newest Section 811 program) shows people and no unit count.
- HUD adds or retires program categories over time. Rent Supplement and Rental Assistance Payment contracts have almost ended, and Section 811 Project Rental Assistance appears only from 2025.
- The national figure includes Puerto Rico, Guam and the other territories.

Caveats
- Computed by Understand Idaho from Picture of Subsidized Households and Population Estimates Program; it is not a figure the publisher releases.
- Totals for 2010-2019 are Vintage 2019 estimates and 2020-2025 are Vintage 2025; the two series are not reconciled, so a change at the seam includes the vintage revision.
- City (incorporated place) totals cover 2020-2025 only; no 2010-2019 city series is included.
- Components of change are published for the nation, states and Idaho's 44 counties; other states' county components are not included.
- The ten places are Boise City, Meridian, Nampa, Caldwell, Idaho Falls, Pocatello, Coeur d'Alene, Twin Falls, Post Falls and Rexburg, the ten largest by 2025 population estimate.
- Group quarters estimates, the residual component, population-based rates, and Puerto Rico are not included.
- The national domestic migration cell is 0 by construction (moves between states net to nothing) and is not stored as an observation; the United States has international migration and natural change only.
Where sources disagree
- Population, Idaho, 2020: U.S. Census Bureau, 2020 Census apportionment counts publishes 1,839,106. The Vintage 2025 Population Estimates Program's April 1, 2020 population base for Idaho is 1,839,123, 17 more than the 1,839,106 the Census Bureau delivered as Idaho's official 2020 Census apportionment count. This population base is not itself shipped as an observation (it is not a July 1 estimate), but it is the starting point this dataset's 2020-2025 state and county totals build forward from, so the same 17-person gap is not reconciled in those totals.

Caveats
- The database counts projects by the year they were placed in service (opened and ready to rent), not the year the credits were awarded. Credits are usually allocated one to two years earlier, so a year's count does not show that year's awards.
- State housing finance agencies report projects to HUD with a lag, so the newest years are incomplete and are revised upward in later editions. The last two years are marked preliminary, and a drop in recent years is partly late reporting.
- Projects stay in the database after they leave the program. Credit projects must stay affordable for at least 30 years, but some owners leave early through a qualified contract or after an extended-use period ends, and some properties are lost to foreclosure. A project no longer monitored for tax credit compliance is flagged in the list, and it may still rent at affordable rates.
- Unit counts are as the state agency reported them. A project's low-income units are those restricted to households under the credit's income limits, and the rest are market-rate; HUD fills in a missing total from the low-income count, and the reverse.
- Projects whose placed-in-service status HUD has not confirmed, or whose year is missing, are left out of the yearly counts and county totals. A few Idaho projects are in this group, and some Idaho projects have no county in HUD's file and are listed without one.
- The county totals and bedroom mix count units in projects ever placed in service, including projects that have since left the program. Bedroom counts are shown only for the projects whose bedroom counts add up to the total.
- The national figure includes Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa and the Northern Mariana Islands, as HUD's file does.
- The database does not say whether a unit is occupied or what rent it charges, and it does not cover housing built with other subsidies unless it also received tax credits.
