What it’s like
The place. Fruitland is a small city in Payette County, Idaho, with a fairly young population for a town of its size. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and typical home values are well above what typical rents would suggest for a quick move. Household incomes run a little below the county's, and few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers turn hot by July, with little rain and snow through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with many others in professional and business services, manufacturing and shops. Among the largest workplaces in Fruitland are Woodgrain Millwork-Fruitland, which makes door trim and wood molding, Asplundh Tree Expert, and the Fruitland District schools. Commutes are short, and only a small number of people work from home.
Things to do. The Payette River is a short drive away, as are Ontario State Recreation Site and the Payette River Wildlife Management Area, both protected areas for time outdoors. A longer drive brings you to Fort Boise, a historic fort, and to the Weiser River.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Fruitland’s census tracts, 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 Payette County and the Ontario, OR-ID metro.
