Rockford, ID population, income and ZIP codes

Rockford CDP is a very small community in Idaho, with 305 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #176 of 236 ranked by population — larger than 25% of them. The median age here is 17.9 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 Rockford CDP earn a median of $85,804 a year, 9.3% above the national figure of $78,538 and 34% above the $63,864 median for the 100 Idaho cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 0% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Rockford CDP is valued at $237,500, 21.7% below the national figure and 13% below the $271,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 100% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

A median age of 17.9 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. With 305 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Rockford CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Rockford 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.
