Weston, ID population, income and ZIP codes

Weston city is a very small community in Idaho, with 586 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #136 of 236 ranked by population — larger than 42% of them. The median age here is 26 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 Weston city earn a median of $85,588 a year, 9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 34% above the $63,864 median for the 100 Idaho cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 1.9% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Weston city is valued at $315,500, 4% above the national figure and 16% above the $271,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,125 a month, 20% below the national figure, or roughly $13,500 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.8% 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. 92.9% 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. 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.

A median age of 26 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 586 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Weston city against its county rather than against national figures.

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.
