What it’s like
The place. Harrison is a very small town on the Coeur d'Alene River, close to the lake it has long been tied to. Homes here are valued well above what is typical for the country, and a smaller share of residents live below the poverty line than in many places. Winters are cold and the summers are warm, with precipitation spread through the year as both rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in the building trades, and in professional and business services. Across Kootenai County, the largest workplaces include Kootenai Hospital District, the Coeur d'Alene school district and Silverwood Theme Park. Unemployment across the county is a little lower than it was a year ago, and the county has added jobs over the past year.
Things to do. The Coeur d'Alene River runs in or beside town, and Coeur d'Alene Lake is a short drive away, so water is never far off. Heyburn State Park, a protected area, is also a short drive away. For a longer outing, Fort Sherman is a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Harrison’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 Kootenai County and the Coeur d'Alene, ID metro.
