Ashton city, ID in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Ashton city is a small town in Idaho, with 1,329 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #85 of 236 ranked by population — larger than 64% of them. The median age here is 40.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Ashton city earn a median of $66,250 a year, 15.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 4% above the $63,864 median for the 100 Idaho cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 5.7% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Ashton city is valued at $222,300, 26.7% below the national figure and 18% below the $271,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $925 a month, 34.2% below the national figure, or roughly $11,100 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.8% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 75.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
