Onaway, ID population, income and ZIP codes

Onaway city is a very small community in Idaho, with 306 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #175 of 236 ranked by population — larger than 25% of them. The median age here is 35.6 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 Onaway city earn a median of $73,571 a year, 6.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 15% 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 13.4% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Onaway city is valued at $245,800, 19% below the national figure and 9% below the $271,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 77.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

With 306 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Onaway city against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Onaway city 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.
