Homes in the wildland-urban interface
About 40% of Idaho’s homes sit inside the wildland-urban interface — roughly 297,000 of 752,000 statewide, according to the SILVIS Lab’s 2020 dataset. The share varies sharply by county: from about 34% in Boise’s Ada County to about 92% in Blaine County.
The five Idaho counties with the most homes in the wildland-urban interface:
- Ada County
- Kootenai County
- Bannock County
- Bonner County
- Blaine County
Being in the interface is a description of geography, not a forecast of fire — it captures how close a building sits to vegetation that can burn. These classifications change slowly; the figures here come from the SILVIS Lab’s most recent revision of the 1990–2020 dataset, released February 2025.
