Rigby city, ID in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Rigby city is a mid-size town in Idaho, with 5,251 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #34 of 236 ranked by population — larger than 85% 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. 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 Rigby city earn a median of $78,278 a year, essentially level with the national figure of $78,538 and 23% above the $63,864 median for the 100 Idaho cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 11.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Rigby city is valued at $267,200, 11.9% below the national figure and within a couple of points of the $271,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,035 a month, 26.4% below the national figure, or roughly $12,420 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.9% 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 3.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 65.3% 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.
