From the Idaho Policy Institute:
As Idaho’s population has grown, housing has become more scarce and more expensive. This impacts Idaho households across income brackets and in all 44 counties. It also impacts Idaho’s economy. Cost burdened households have limited spending power and struggle to pay for necessities, such as childcare, healthcare, and groceries. Limited access to housing that is affordable across income levels reduces employers’ ability to attract and retain talent, and also limits greater tax generation, creation of jobs, opportunities for economic development, and increased job productivity.
