What it’s like
The place. Cocolalla is a small community in Bonner County, in the northern Idaho panhandle. Across the county, most homes are lived in by their owners, and typical home values run high. Many residents are in midlife or older, and the area draws people who want to be close to forests and lakes while staying within reach of the town's services.
Work. Residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, retail shops, manufacturing, and professional and business services. Unemployment in Bonner County eased slightly over the past year, and the number of jobs grew a little. A minority of adults hold a four-year degree, and only a small share of workers work from home.
Things to do. Round Lake State Park and Farragut State Park are both a short drive away and offer protected land for walking and outdoor time. For a larger outing, Lake Pend Oreille is a longer drive away and is a good choice for a day on the water.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Bonner 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 Bonner County and the Sandpoint, ID metro.
