Mountain Home AFB, ID population, income and ZIP codes

Mountain Home AFB CDP is a small town in Idaho, with 3,198 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #48 of 236 ranked by population — larger than 80% of them. The median age here is 22.4 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 Mountain Home AFB CDP earn a median of $72,411 a year, 7.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 13% 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 2.1% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Mountain Home AFB CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $1,821 a month, 29.5% above the national figure, or roughly $21,852 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 30.2% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. 0.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. 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 22.4 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address.

The Census withheld home value for Mountain Home AFB 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.
