Elmore County, ID Property Records & Statistics
Elmore County has a median rent of $944, higher than the Idaho median of $841.50 and the national median of $840.25. The gap is meaningful for tenants, and renting is far more common here than elsewhere: 34.75% of occupied homes are renter-occupied, compared with 21.77% in the state and 21.81% nationally. That points to a sizable rental market, which is consistent with a county where many households rent rather than own.
The median home value is $192,800, below the state median of $245,725 but above the national median of $173,750. The median property tax rate of 0.61% is higher than Idaho's 0.52%, though still under the national rate of 0.74%. Homeowners pay a somewhat heavier tax rate than the state average on homes that are valued lower than the state median.
Income is lower than both benchmarks. The median household income is $54,487, compared with $63,832 in Idaho and $65,108 nationally. With rents above average and incomes below average, housing costs can weigh more heavily on local households than they do elsewhere in the state.
The unemployment rate is 2.65%, above the state's 2.22% but below the national 2.87%. Overall, the figures describe a rental-heavy county with higher rents, moderate home values, a relatively high tax rate for Idaho, and incomes that trail state and national levels.
