Weiser city, ID in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Weiser city is a mid-size town in Idaho, with 5,803 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #32 of 236 ranked by population — larger than 86% of them. The median age here is 37.8 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 Weiser city earn a median of $45,463 a year, 42.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 29% below 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 18.9% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Weiser city is valued at $196,200, 35.3% below the national figure and 28% below the $271,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $908 a month, 35.4% below the national figure, or roughly $10,896 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24% 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. 61.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
