How this list was compiled: All 198 incorporated cities of Idaho in the estimates, each with its county, its population and its place among the 198. Figures are the US Census Bureau's Vintage 2025 City and Town Population Totals, the estimates for 1 July 2025 (https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/popest/datasets/2020-2025/cities/totals/sub-est2025.csv, read 2026-10-09). Every municipality of Idaho is a city in law. A city that crosses a county line is filed under the county where most of its people live and says "mostly in" where under 95 in 100 live there. Boise is the file's Boise City. Places with the same estimate share the higher rank. The 198 names were compared with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_in_Idaho, which counts 199: the same 198 and Lost River, in Custer County (42 people at the 2020 census), which has no row in the file and no card. Warm River's incorporation was read at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warm_River,_Idaho, the seat of Boise County at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boise_County,_Idaho, and the state capital checked against https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_capitals_in_the_United_States the same day.
