Qualified census tracts in Idaho

46 census tracts in 13 counties qualify as low-income or high-poverty HUBZones until SBA's next map update in July 2028. Counties with the most:

  • Ada County: 14 tracts
  • Canyon County: 9 tracts
  • Bannock County: 4 tracts
  • Latah County: 4 tracts
  • Madison County: 4 tracts
  • Kootenai County: 3 tracts

  • Cassia County: 1 tract
  • Jerome County: 1 tract
  • Minidoka County: 1 tract
  • Owyhee County: 1 tract
  • Twin Falls County: 1 tract

A tract is only part of a county, often a few city blocks, so check each street address with the HUBZone map checker.

Qualified non-metropolitan counties

Every address in these 16 rural counties is in a HUBZone, because of low household income, high unemployment or a HUD difficult development area:

  • Adams County
  • Benewah County
  • Bonner County
  • Boundary County
  • Camas County
  • Clark County
  • Clearwater County
  • Custer County
  • Elmore County
  • Idaho County
  • Lemhi County
  • Lewis County
  • Madison County
  • Shoshone County
  • Valley County
  • Washington County

Indian lands

SBA's map lists 5 Indian land areas in Idaho, such as reservations. Land inside these boundaries is a HUBZone with no set end date.

Governor-designated areas

Small, non-urban areas SBA added at the request of Idaho's governor:

  • Bingham County (whole county): until Jul 1, 2028
  • Fremont County, 1 tract: until Jul 1, 2028
  • Gem County, 2 tracts: until Jul 1, 2028
  • Gooding County, 1 tract: until Jul 1, 2028

Redesignated areas ended July 1, 2026

Tracts and counties that lost HUBZone status in SBA's 2023 map update stayed HUBZones for three years as redesignated areas. Those expired on July 1, 2026, and SBA's data no longer lists any in Idaho. If your office or employees relied on one, check each address again.
