What it’s like
The place. Burley is a small city in Cassia County, with a younger population than most of the country and more homes lived in by their owners than rented. Household incomes run a little below the county's, and typical home values are well above what the incomes alone might suggest. Winters are cold, summers are warm, and the climate is dry, with little rain or snow through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in shops, in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, and in restaurants and hotels. Among the largest workplaces in Burley are Walmart, Cassia Regional Hospital and Gibby Group. Commutes are short, and few people work from home, so most go to a workplace close by.
Things to do. Goose Creek, a river in or beside town, is the closest place to get outdoors. A longer drive away are Twin Falls, a waterfall, and Minidoka National Historic Site, a protected area that is part of the region's history. Lake Walcott, a reservoir, is also a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Burley’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. 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 Cassia County and the Burley, ID metro.
