What it’s like
The place. Kellogg is a small city in Shoshone County, Idaho, where people are younger on average than across much of the country. Homes here are about evenly split between owners and renters, and fewer adults hold a four-year degree than is typical. Incomes in the county run below the national picture, and a good share of residents live below the poverty line. Winters are cold and snowy, with December the coldest month, and summers are warm but not hot, with July the warmest and a fair amount of rain and melted snow through the year.
Work. Many residents work in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, in schools, hospitals and social care, or in shops. Among the largest workplaces in Kellogg are Shoshone Medical Center, the Kellogg Joint District school district, and S & W Ops, which runs ski lodges and resorts with accommodations. Unemployment in the county has eased a little compared with a year earlier, and the county has added jobs over the past year. Commutes are short, and only a small share of people work from home.
Things to do. Silver Mountain, a ski area, sits in or beside town, which makes winter days on the slopes an easy outing. Lookout Pass Ski and Recreation Area is another ski area, a longer drive away. For quieter time outdoors, Coeur d'Alene National Forest is a protected area a longer drive away, with room to hike and explore.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Kellogg’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very high. 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 Shoshone County.
