ZIP code 83702

ZIP 83702 is a mid-size town in Ada County, Idaho, with 23,981 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #29 of 280 ranked by population — larger than 89% of them. The median age here is 41 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 ZIP 83702 earn a median of $82,586 a year, 5.2% above the national figure of $78,538. 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 10.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 83702 is valued at $708,000, 133.4% above the national figure, while median gross rent runs $1,175 a month, 16.4% below the national figure, or roughly $14,100 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.1% 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 8.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is out of reach on local earnings alone and the ownership market leans on outside income, equity or dual high earners. 51.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

Home values sit at 8.6× median household income, far past the 3.9× national mark, so ownership costs here are set by something other than local wages — second homes, retirees with equity, or commuters earning elsewhere.

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.

ZIP 83702 is tabulated inside Ada County, Idaho, one of 16 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 280 across Idaho. This is a mid-sized suburban ZIP inside a county that is split across many delivery areas. County assignment on this page follows the largest share of the ZIP's land area, which matters where a delivery route crosses a county line: mail addressed to 83702 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 83702 reports a median household income of $82,586, 6% below the $87,656 county median, and 21% above the $68,377 typical ID ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $708,000, 47% above the county figure and 138% above the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $1,175 a month, which is why it reads higher than the advertised rent on a listing for the same unit.

A taxable purchase made inside 83702 carries 6% at the register, assembled from the Boise jurisdiction stack: the Idaho state rate plus every county, municipal and special district levy that reaches this address. Because those district boundaries were drawn for schools, transit and hospital funding rather than for mail delivery, two addresses inside 83702 can legitimately fall under different totals — the rate shown here is the one that applies to the dominant jurisdiction.

Everything above comes from the Census Bureau American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates for this ZIP Code Tabulation Area, with sales tax rates traced to the state revenue agency. Five-year estimates pool sixty months of responses, so they are stable enough to compare 83702 with its neighbours but always trail the current year, and any value the Census suppressed for sample size is shown as unpublished rather than filled in with a model.
