Hayden city, ID in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Hayden city is a mid-size town in Idaho, with 16,021 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #17 of 236 ranked by population — larger than 93% of them. The median age here is 43.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Hayden city earn a median of $77,534 a year, 1.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 21% 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 7.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Hayden city is valued at $445,700, 46.9% above the national figure and 64% above the $271,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,676 a month, 19.2% above the national figure, or roughly $20,112 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 25.9% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 79% 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.
