What it’s like
The place. Weiser is a small city in Washington County, Idaho, where the people tend to be somewhat older than in many towns and most homes are lived in by their owners. Household incomes run below the county's, and a larger share of residents live below the poverty line than is typical. Winters are cold and the summers hot, with little rain or snow across the year, and most people have a short trip to work.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, the building trades, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment also employing a good number. Among the largest workplaces in Weiser are the Weiser District schools, Memorial Hospital and OrePac Building Products. Unemployment in the county is a little higher than a year ago, and the county has slightly fewer jobs than it did the year before.
Things to do. The Weiser River runs in or beside town, a natural spot for time by the water. A longer drive brings you to the Payette River, and to Farewell Bend State Recreation Area, a protected area. Also a longer drive away is the Rinehart Stone House Museum.

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