What it’s like
The place. Greenleaf is a very small city in Canyon County, Idaho, with far fewer people than most places that carry the name of a city. Residents are younger than in much of the country, and fewer adults hold a four-year degree than across the nation as a whole. Winters are cold, with January days staying near freezing and nights well below it, while July afternoons turn hot. Rain and melted snow add up to little over the year, so the climate is dry.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in manufacturing, professional and business services, and shops. Across Canyon County, some of the largest workplaces are Amazon, the College of Western Idaho and the Nampa School District. The usual trip to work is a moderate one, and few people work from home. Unemployment across the county is low and about where it was a year ago, and the county has added a few more jobs than the year before.
Things to do. A short drive away is Simplot Stadium, a stadium for local sport. Farther afield, a longer drive brings you to Deer Flat National Wildlife Refuge, a protected area, and to the Payette River, a river good for time outdoors. The Warhawk Air Museum, also a longer drive away, is a museum for anyone curious about aircraft and their history.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Greenleaf’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 Canyon County and the Boise City, ID metro.
