Blaine County 2025 Blaine County, ID

Blaine County, Idaho, population 20,791, is home to the world famous Sun Valley ski resort and is a region known for its vast natural amenities, classic Western towns such as Ketchum and Hailey, and working farms and ranches.

Like so many other amenity-rich destinations in the U.S., Blaine County has experienced unprecedented residential and commercial growth in recent years - double the state average - due to an influx of second-homeowners and new year-round residents seeking a better quality of life. As a result, affordable housing is in short supply, traffic congestion is mounting and agricultural and ranching lands and livelihoods are being threatened.
