Bonner County, ID Property Records & Statistics
Bonner County has a median rent of $992, higher than the Idaho figure of $841.50 and the national figure of $840.25. The median home value is $397,200, far above the state's $245,725 and the national $173,750. Only 16.84% of homes are renter-occupied, compared with 21.77% in Idaho and 21.81% nationally, so owner-occupied housing dominates.
The median property tax rate is 0.45%, below both the state rate of 0.52% and the national rate of 0.74%. Combined with high home values, this means owners pay a lower rate on properties that are worth considerably more than the state or national typical home.
Median household income is $67,188, above the state's $63,832 and the national $65,108, though the lead is smaller than the gap in housing costs. The unemployment rate is 2.33%, slightly above Idaho's 2.22% but below the national 2.87%.
Overall, the figures describe a county with expensive housing, a low property tax rate, incomes just above average, and a market made up mostly of homeowners. For buyers, the high prices relative to local income are the main factor to weigh, while the tax rate offers some relief.
