What it’s like
The place. Cataldo is a small town in Kootenai County in the northern panhandle of Idaho. Across the county, the typical home is valued well above what most of the country pays, and most homes are lived in by their owners. Median age and household incomes sit close to the county's figures, with a steady population of people who have settled here. The winters are cold and snowy, and the summers are warm and dry enough for outdoor life.
Work. Across Kootenai County, many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in the building trades, and in professional and business services. Unemployment is low and has eased slightly over the past year, and jobs have grown a little. A fair number of residents work from home, and most commutes are a short drive to the towns and services nearby.
Things to do. Old Mission State Park is a protected area a short drive away, and it preserves the Cataldo Mission, a historic church built by missionaries in the nineteenth century. Coeur d'Alene Lake is a lake a longer drive away, popular for boating and quiet shoreline walks. Silver Mountain, a ski area a longer drive away, is a place for winter visitors who enjoy the snowy season.

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.
