What it’s like

The place. Dubois is a very small city in Clark County, in the high, open country of eastern Idaho. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month and snow falling for much of the season, while summers turn properly warm in July. Rain and melted snow add up to little over the course of a year, so the climate is dry. Homes here are valued at a modest level, and a somewhat larger share of residents live below the poverty line than is typical for the country as a whole.

Work. Many residents work in farming, forestry and mining, and others are employed in schools, hospitals and social care, in government, or in manufacturing. Across Clark County, the largest workplace is the Clark County District, the local school district. Jobs across the county dipped a little last year compared with the year before, and unemployment in the county has eased slightly over the past year. A typical commute is of moderate length, and only a small number of people work from home.

Things to do. The countryside around Dubois suits people who like quiet land and water. Within a longer drive are the Teton River, a river good for a day by the water, and Camas National Wildlife Refuge, a protected area set aside for wildlife. Market Lake Wildlife Management Area, also a protected area, is another longer drive away for anyone who enjoys watching birds and animals.
