What it’s like
The place. Iona is a small city in Bonneville County, and nearly all of its homes are lived in by their owners rather than rented, a far more settled pattern than in many towns. Typical home values run high for a place this size. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and frost and snow well within the usual, while summers turn properly warm by July. Precipitation over the year is on the light side, much of it falling as melted snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in professional and business services, shops, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Bonneville County, some of the largest workplaces are Mountain View Hospital, Bonneville Joint District and Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center. Unemployment across the county has risen a little over the past year, though the county has added jobs, and the daily commute is fairly short.
Things to do. Close by, the Museum of Idaho is a museum a short drive away, and Tautphaus Park is a park a short drive away. Willow Creek, a river, is also a short drive off. For a longer outing, Kelly Canyon is a ski area a longer drive away, and the Henrys Fork is a river reachable by a longer drive.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Iona’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. 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 Bonneville County and the Idaho Falls, ID metro.
