The latest U.S. Census Bureau estimates show the city of Boise lost nearly 1,400 residents from 2021 to 2022, while all of the other top 19 most populated Idaho cities gained residents.

Overall, the state’s population is still growing, but the pace of that growth has slowed from recent years.

According to a press release from the Idaho Department of Labor, analysts suspect high housing costs contribute to the loss in Boise population, forcing households with children to seek more affordable housing in nearby communities.

The Idaho Capital Sun reports, the city of Paul, located between Rupert and Burley, was Idaho’s fastest growing city with a 20% growth rate and over 250 new residents.

Cities with the greatest number of new residents are generally Idaho’s Top 20 largest cities.
