It looks like the recession never really affected Idaho's growth other than slowing it down a bit. I am getting used to the slow pace of growth but I would have no problem going back to the pre recession growth either.

eagle is poised to really grow if the avimor development grows as planned.

I believe Avimor is kinda dead. M3 is the mega development still on the books.

---Coeur d'Alene will have 50,000 residents within the next 2 years. Twin Falls should hit 50,000 in the next 4 years.
---Meridian will surpass Nampa as Idaho's second largest city in the next year. Both Meridian and Nampa will have 90,000 people within the next 2 years.

Switch Moscow and Rexburg.

Really wanting to see Caldwell get into the number 4 spot. How long until Eagle or Kuna fills out the big 5...

It looks like Twin Falls may make it to the 50,000 mark by 2020 which would make it its own Metro area. I've always imagined the rim of the Snake River would be a great area for some high rises :cheers:

I actually expect that to happen either next year or in 2017. Metros are contiguous populations of 50,000 or more. The city of Twin Falls, along with neighboring Kimberly, have over 49,000 residents already...(for example, the city of Coeur d'Alene has less than 50,000 residents, but combined with the neighboring cities of Post Falls, Hayden, Dalton Gardens, Fernan, and Huetter, the area has been a metro for over 10 years now).

This thread should be renamed "Idaho Census Thread" or something similar since data has been continuously updated.

sure seems like Boise's population growth has slowed dramatically over the last 15 years. I wonder if that's because most of the growth has been in the suburbs, or if there's not much room left within the Boise city limits, but the amount of construction in the city (especially Harris Ranch and downtown) seems to suggest that Boise is still growing.

I think it's safe to assume that Boise's growth in past decades was largely dependent on urban sprawl. I hope the trend of redevelopment in the urban core and infill of existing neighborhoods continue. Eventually as Boise becomes more dense, we'll start to see taller buildings downtown.

The Boise Metro was 20th fastest growing metro (by percentage) in the past year. Meridian was I believe the 7th fastest growing city in the country. Population increase was much stronger from 2013-2014 than 2012-2013 in the entire area. I think we're going to see pre 2008 growth rates sooner than later.

the 'burbs are definitely growing like a weed. just seems boise's growth has slowed.

personally, i'd like to see boise do some serious annexing and extend the city limits to areas that are prime for growth, such as the land between the micron plant and the canyon.

Thanks Cottonwood for the thread rename.

Here are the 2015 county results:

1. Ada 434,211

I'm really impressed with the robust growth Coeur d'Alene has experienced over the last half-decade! Up 11.3% since 2010, it's growing at 2.5x the rate of the Spokane-CdA CSA and more than double Idaho's state growth rate of 5.6% (5-year)

Coeur d'Alene:

2010: 44,137 (Base Year)
2011: 45,024 (+887; +2.01%)
2012: 45,574 (+550; +1.22%)
2013: 46,378 (+804; +1.76%)
2014: 47,887 (+1,509; +3.25%)
2015: 49,672 (+1,235; +2.58%)
5-yr total increase: +4,987 (11.30%)

Spokane/CdA CSA:

2010: 667,487 (Base Year)
2011: 670,964 (+3,478; +0.52%)
2012: 674,724 (+4,760; +0.71%)
2013: 679,955 (+5,231; +0.78%)
2014: 688,160 (+8,205; +1.21%)
2015: 698,170 (+10,010; +1.46%)
5-yr total increase: +31,684 (4.75%)

I wonder how long it will be before Elmore county joins the MSA.. seems like lots of commuting between mountain home and boise...


also, the city of boise needs to annex the southwest ada county alliance.. that has been put off long enough and with all the development, it's just time.. that would bring another 40K people into the city of boise population..

---Boise should have 225,000 next year
---Meridian might pass 100,000 next year
---Nampa should have 100,000 in 6 years
---Idaho Falls passed the 60,000 mark

---Coeur d'Alene passed the 50,000 mark
---Post Falls will surpass Lewiston as the 9th largest city next year
---Eagle will surpass Moscow as the 12th largest city next year

Interesting that at some point in the near future all 5 of Idaho's largest cities will be part of the Boise MSA. Coeur d' Alene is buzzing along but I think that'll slow mainly due to geographic constraints whereas Caldwell doesn't have any...

Was checking out CSA population numbers on the Wiki- looks like Boise is at 770k while Spokane-CDA is at 710k. Wonder how that works our density wise since Boise’s CSA stretches 100 miles versus Spokane’s 35 or so.

The Spokane CSA (Spokane, Stevens, and Pend Oreille Counties in WA and Kootenai County, ID) covers 6886 square miles, and has a population density of 103 people per sq/mi.

The Boise CSA (Ada, Boise, Canyon, Elmore, Gem, Owyhee, and Payette Counties in ID, and Malhuer County in OR) covers 22,173 square miles, and has a population density of 34 people per sq/mi.

What makes the Boise CSA seem so sparse compared to the Spokane CSA is the inclusion of Owyhee and Malhuer counties. While these two counties add 17,626 square miles, and by themselves are 2.5 times the area of the Spokane CSA, they add fewer than 43,000 people.

In other words, Owyhee and Malhuer counties make up over 79% of the land area of the Boise CSA, but only contain 5% of the population. Hence the much lower population density of the Boise CSA.

Here are the 2017 county results:

1. Ada 456,849
2. Canyon 216,699
3. Kootenai 157,637
4. Bonneville 114,595
5. Bannock 85,269
6. Twin Falls 85,124
7. Bingham 45,927
8. Bonner 43,560
9. New Perce 40,385
10. Latah 39,333
11. Madison 39,141

Ada passed 450,000 and should hit 500,000 around 2021. Twin Falls should pass Bannock next year. Latah & Madison should pass 40,000 in the next 2-3 years.


Here are the 2017 metro/micro results:

1. Boise metro (Ada, Canyon, Gem, Owyhee, Boise) 709,845
2. Coeur d'Alene metro (Kootenai) 157,637
3. Idaho Falls metro (Bonneville, Jefferson, Butte) 145,643
4. Twin Falls micro (Twin Falls, Jerome) 108,751
5. Pocatello metro (Bannock) 85,269
6. Lewiston metro (Nez Perce & Asotin, WA) 62,920

Boise metro passed 700,000. In the next few years Twin Falls will become a metro area.

Coeur d’Alene was the 5th fastest growing metro area in the nation last year. Boise was the 7th. Sandpoint was the 7th fastest growing micro area in the nation last year. Mountain Home was the 9th.

Boise-Mountain Home-Ontario CSA 790,363
Spokane-Spokane Valley-Coeur d’Alene CSA 721,873
Idaho Falls-Rexburg-Blackfoot CSA 243,805

Boise CSA will easily surpass 800,000 next year and should hit 900,00 around 2024. Spokane/Cd’A CSA will be at 750,000 within 3 years. Idaho Falls CSA will hit 250,000 in 2 years.

Here are the 2017 city results:

1. Boise 226,570
2. Meridian 99,926

Also I don't recall Twin Falls being classified as a "metro" previous to these listings. Unless I'm mistaken, it appears they have just been upgraded from a "micro" to "metro" area. The 2017 table does not list Twin Falls which appears to confirm this.

Other interesting info: Idaho's population is now at 1,754,208. If present trends continue, Idaho will surpass West Virginia (currently 1,805,832 and falling) in total population by 2020 and is quickly approaching Nebraska and New Mexico. All three of the those states have 5 electoral votes in the Electoral College and three congressional districts. They may simply drop WV's elector and give it to a different state (such as TX) but it's clear that Idaho is quickly approaching the population required to receive an additional congressional district and elector.

Just checked on the Spokane metro too, so looks like consolidated CDA-Spokane (Kootenai and Spokane counties respectively) stand at 734,998. Wonder where they're at as of now.

Edit: I see Jimthemanincda already had updated his sig to show that. I think that puts the area at give or take 150,000 more people than when I left to move to Seattle. Fun to see it grow.

Sorry that I forgot to mention this. Twin Falls was designated as a metro area by the US Census Bureau in the fall of 2017.

Thanks for sharing the article jim.

I'm surprised the city manager for Twin Falls doesn't understand that a metro area is not only based on the central city reaching a population of 50,000 but also the designated urbanized area reaching a population threshold of 100,000 (in this case Twin Falls and Jerome counties). Per census.gov:

"Metropolitan Statistical Areas
An MSA consists of one or more counties that contain a city of 50,000 or more inhabitants, or contain a Census Bureau-defined urbanized area (UA) and have a total population of at least 100,000 (75,000 in New England). Counties containing the principal concentration of population—the largest city and surrounding densely settled area—are components of the MSA."
