What it’s like
The place. Bayview is a small town in Kootenai County, in the northern panhandle of Idaho. Across the county, most homes are lived in by their owners rather than rented out, and the town's residents are part of a community where many people know one another. The region has cold winters, which are the coldest part of the year, and warm summers, with a fair amount of snow and rain over the year.
Work. Across Kootenai County, many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in the building trades, or in professional and business services. Unemployment is lower than it was a year earlier, and the county has added jobs over the past year, though only slightly. A minority of adults hold a four-year degree, and a minority of workers work from home, so most people commute to a job outside the house.
Things to do. Farragut State Park is a protected area a short drive away, suited to a day outdoors. Lake Pend Oreille, a lake a longer drive away, is one of the best known natural spots nearby. Silverwood Theme Park, an amusement park also a longer drive away, is another option for a day out with family.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Kootenai County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Kootenai County and the Coeur d'Alene, ID metro.
