Washington County, ID Property Records & Statistics
Washington County has a median rent of $709, well below the Idaho median of $841.50 and the national median of $840.25. Renters pay noticeably less each month than the typical renter in the state or the country. Renter-occupied housing makes up 24.42% of occupied homes, above the state's 21.77% and the national 21.81%, so renting is somewhat more common here, and it is supported by lower rents.
The median home value is $226,100, below Idaho's $245,725 but well above the national median of $173,750. The median property tax rate of 0.44% is lower than both the state rate of 0.52% and the national rate of 0.74%, which keeps the yearly cost of owning a home low compared with most places.
The median household income is $58,846, under the state figure of $63,832 and the national figure of $65,108. Lower incomes are partly balanced by lower rents and a light tax rate, but buyers still face home values that are considerably higher than the national median.
The unemployment rate is 1.35%, much lower than 2.22% in Idaho and 2.87% nationally. Overall, the figures describe a county with affordable rents, a low property tax rate, strong employment, and home values that are moderate by state standards, alongside household incomes that trail both benchmarks.
