Garden Valley, ID population, income and ZIP codes

Garden Valley CDP is a very small community in Idaho, with 364 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #162 of 236 ranked by population — larger than 31% of them. The median age here is 36.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Garden Valley CDP earn a median of $91,042 a year, 15.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 43% above the $63,864 median for the 100 Idaho cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 9.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Garden Valley CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $938 a month, 33.3% below the national figure, or roughly $11,256 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 12.4% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. 76.7% 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.

The Census withheld home value for Garden Valley CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
