What it’s like
The place. Weippe is a very small city in Clearwater County, Idaho, where neighbors are likely to know one another. Household incomes run well below the county's, even as the typical home is valued well above what those incomes would suggest. Few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold and very snowy, with December the coldest month, and summers are warm in July, with a fair amount of rain and melted snow across the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and the building trades also employing many. Across Clearwater County, some of the largest workplaces are Lightforce USA, Orofino Joint District and Clearwater Valley Health. Unemployment in the county is a little higher than a year ago, though the county has added jobs over the past year.
Things to do. Rivers are the main draw nearby, including the Clearwater River and the North Fork Clearwater River, each a longer drive away. Bald Mountain Ski Area, also a longer drive away, suits the snowy winters. Dworshak State Park, a protected area a longer drive away, is another place to get outdoors.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Weippe’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 Clearwater County.
