Rathdrum city, ID in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Rathdrum city is a mid-size town in Idaho, with 10,133 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #24 of 236 ranked by population — larger than 90% of them. The median age here is 35.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Rathdrum city earn a median of $86,431 a year, 10% above the national figure of $78,538 and 35% 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 9.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Rathdrum city is valued at $381,800, 25.8% above the national figure and 41% above the $271,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,412 a month, essentially level with the national figure, or roughly $16,944 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.6% 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 4.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 78.8% 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.
