Adams County, ID Property Records & Statistics
Adams County has a median rent of $772, which is below both the Idaho figure of $841.50 and the national figure of $840.25. Renters here pay less each month than the typical renter in the state or the country. Renter-occupied housing makes up 18.01% of homes, under the state share of 21.77% and the national share of 21.81%, so ownership is the norm in this rural county.
The median home value is $286,800, well above the state median of $245,725 and the national median of $173,750. Even so, the median property tax rate of 0.42% is lower than the state rate of 0.52% and the national rate of 0.74%, which softens the ongoing cost of owning a home despite the high values.
Household incomes and employment tell a harder story. The median household income is $51,806, compared with $63,832 statewide and $65,108 nationally, and the unemployment rate of 6.28% is far above the state's 2.22% and the national 2.87%.
Taken together, the figures describe a county with expensive homes relative to local earnings, modest rents, light property taxes, and a thin job market. Lower incomes paired with high home values can make buying difficult for people who work locally.
