Which places in Idaho have the highest income per person?
The survey publishes income per person without a top code, so it gives a figure even for the richest places: Sun Valley has the highest estimate, $111,793 per resident (±$29,979), but it is within the margin of error of Ketchum ($79,197): the survey cannot say which is higher.

How is this ranking made?
Each place's median household income is read from the 2020-2024 American Community Survey. A place enters the ranking if it had 1,000 or more residents in the 2020 Census and its estimate has a coefficient of variation of 40% or less. Ties in the published figure share a rank. This is a measurement of one figure, not a judgment of a place.
