The Gem State is consistently listed as one of the fastest-growing states in the country, largely thanks to migration. The Post-Register newspaper reported Idaho was the nation’s fourth-fastest growing state, percentage-wise, in population growth between 2022 and 2023, according to U.S. Census Bureau data.
Homeschooling also appears to have surged in the Gem State. Idaho doesn't have reporting requirements for homeschoolers, but public school data indicates there's been an uptick in parents choosing to homeschool.
