Living in Star



Star is a somewhat small city located in the state of Idaho. With a population of 14,646 people and four constituent neighborhoods, Star is the 23rd largest community in Idaho. Much of the housing stock in Star was built relatively recently. The construction of new real estate can often be taken as an indication that the local Star economy is robust, and that jobs or other amenities are attracting an influx of new residents. This seems to be the case in Star, where the median household income is $75,120.00.

Star home prices are not only among the most expensive in Idaho, but Star real estate also consistently ranks among the most expensive in America.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 18.80% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

Because of many things, Star is a very good place for families to consider. With an enviable combination of good schools, low crime, college-educated neighbors who tend to support education because of their own experiences, and a high rate of home ownership in predominantly single-family properties, Star really has some of the features that families look for when choosing a good community to raise children. Is Star perfect? Of course not, and if you like frenetic nightlife, it will be far from your cup of tea. But overall this is a solid community, with many things to recommend it as a family-friendly place to live.

As is often the case in a small city, Star doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.

In terms of college education, Star is substantially better educated than the typical community in the nation, which has 21.84% of the adults holding a bachelor's degree or graduate degree: 31.22% of adults in Star have a college degree.

The per capita income in Star in 2018 was $37,588, which is wealthy relative to Idaho, and upper middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $150,352 for a family of four. However, Star contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
