Ucon city, ID in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Ucon city is a small town in Idaho, with 1,537 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #76 of 236 ranked by population — larger than 68% of them. The median age here is 38.4 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 Ucon city earn a median of $83,864 a year, 6.8% above the national figure of $78,538 and 31% 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 7.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Ucon city is valued at $311,700, 2.7% above the national figure and 15% above the $271,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $920 a month, 34.6% below the national figure, or roughly $11,040 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13.2% 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 3.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 87.9% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
