Adams County, not Council
Adams County context, not Council figures
These are Adams County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Council measurements.
- Establishments in Adams County119
- Employment at those establishments, Adams County534
- Covered employment, Adams County1,025
- Average annual pay, Adams County$56,947
- Average weekly wage, Adams County$1,095
- Housing units permitted, Adams County27
- Of those, single family, Adams County7
- County product, 2024, Adams County$204,636,000
- County product change over the prior year, Adams County7.9 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Adams County$86,849
Every figure in this section is published for Adams County as a whole and is not a measurement of Council. It is here because a county backdrop is what a credit committee reads a place against, and it is labelled so that it can never be quoted as the place's own.

Coverage
What this page does not hold.
Every item below could be filled with a plausible figure. None of them is. On a page a lender may read, a number that cannot be traced is worse than an absence, so the absences are named.
- This place is not listed as a community in the FEMA Community Status Book, so no NFIP participation or CRS class is shown.
- Parcel level detail, zoning and flood zone at an address are resolved in the platform, not on this page.
SBA figures count approvals to borrowers whose address is in the place. They are not approvals for projects inside the place boundary: the tape records a borrower city and a project county, and those can differ.
Common questions
Council questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Council, Idaho?
871, in 336 households. Council city covers 1.05 square miles of land, which is 826 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Council in?
Adams County, which holds 100.0 percent of the place by area. Source: US Census Bureau, cartographic boundary file, places, 2024 vintage.
What is the median household income in Council?
$50,208. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $201,300. Median gross rent is $779 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Council businesses?
10 7(a) approvals totalling $731,500, across 3 lenders, median approval $50,100. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Council, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Council borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Council. only 2 resolved loans, too few to publish a rate, and a percentage over that few outcomes would move several points on a single loan. The counts are shown instead.
Are the county figures on this page Council figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Adams County as a whole and there is no place level equivalent. They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Council.
Is zoning published for Council?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
