Idaho population continues strong growth
The U.S. Census estimates Idaho’s July 2023 population at 1,964,726 — an increase of 1.3% from July 2022 — ranking it fourth nationally in percentage growth. Despite ranking 17th in numerical growth and falling from its top-10 status of the past two years, Idaho still outpaces the national population growth rate.
Idaho’s population growth in 2023 was double the national average of 0.5%. The U.S. added 1.6 million people, bringing its population estimate to 334,914,895 — higher than the growth rate of 0.4% in 2022 and 0.2% in 2021.
While most states experienced a population rebound from 2022 to 2023, only eight saw a decline — a contrast to the 18 declining states of 2021-2022.
