American Community Survey, 1-Year Estimates

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.
  • The race and ethnicity breakdown uses the Census table that separates Hispanic or Latino origin from race, not the standalone race table, whose categories double-count people who are also Hispanic or Latino.
