Homedale city, ID in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Homedale city is a small town in Idaho, with 3,006 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #53 of 236 ranked by population — larger than 77% of them. The median age here is 30.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Homedale city earn a median of $49,764 a year, 36.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 22% below 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 19.7% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.
The typical owner-occupied home in Homedale city is valued at $200,000, 34.1% below the national figure and 26% below the $271,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $951 a month, 32.4% below the national figure, or roughly $11,412 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.9% 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 4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 63.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
