Juliaetta, ID population, income and ZIP codes

Juliaetta city is a very small community in Idaho, with 586 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #135 of 236 ranked by population — larger than 42% of them. The median age here is 51.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Juliaetta city earn a median of $54,821 a year, 30.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 14% 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 8.2% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Juliaetta city is valued at $252,100, 16.9% below the national figure and 7% below the $271,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $646 a month, 54.1% below the national figure, or roughly $7,752 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.1% 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 4.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 68.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

A median age of 51.4 puts Juliaetta city well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 586 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Juliaetta city against its county rather than against national figures.

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.
