Soda Springs city, ID in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Soda Springs city is a small town in Idaho, with 3,150 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #50 of 236 ranked by population — larger than 79% of them. The median age here is 35.9 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 Soda Springs city earn a median of $47,480 a year, 39.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 26% below 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 12.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Soda Springs city is valued at $204,800, 32.5% below the national figure and 25% below the $271,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $826 a month, 41.3% below the national figure, or roughly $9,912 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.9% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 75.1% 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.
Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
