What it’s like
The place. Kimberly is a small city in Twin Falls County, in the farming country of southern Idaho. It is a young town by national standards, with a lower median age than most places, and nearly all homes are lived in by their owners rather than rented. Winters are cold and snowy, summers are warm, and the year is fairly dry.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with professional and business services, shops, and farming close behind. The largest workplaces in Kimberly are the Kimberly District schools, BRP Health Management Systems, a skilled nursing provider, and the Agricultural Research Service of the US Department of Agriculture. Commutes are short, and a share of people work from home.
Things to do. Shoshone Falls and Twin Falls are both waterfalls a short drive away, and the Herrett Center for Arts and Science, a museum, is also close by. For a longer outing, the Minidoka National Historic Site is a protected area 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 Kimberly’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 Twin Falls County and the Twin Falls, ID metro.
