Riggins is a tiny city located in the state of Idaho. With a population of 372 people and just one neighborhood, Riggins is the 124th largest community in Idaho.
Riggins is a decidedly white-collar city, with fully 87.65% of the workforce employed in white-collar jobs, well above the national average. Overall, Riggins is a city of service providers, professionals, and managers. There are especially a lot of people living in Riggins who work in management occupations (19.75%), food service (18.52%), and healthcare suport services (14.81%).
Of important note, Riggins is also a city of artists. Riggins has more artists, designers and people working in media than 90% of the communities in America. This concentration of artists helps shape Riggins’s character.
One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 12.35% 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.
Another notable thing is that Riggins is a major vacation destination. Much of the city’s population is seasonal: many people own second homes and only live there part-time, during the vacation season. The effect on the local economy is that many of the businesses are dependent on tourist dollars, and may operate only during the high season. As the vacation season ends, Riggins’s population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.
The overall crime rate in Riggins is one of the lowest in the US. This makes it one of the safer places to live in the country in terms of crime.
Residents will find that the city is relatively quiet. This is because it is not over-populated, and it has fewer college students, renters, and young children - all of whom can be noisy at times. So, if you're looking for a relatively peaceful place to live, Riggins is worth considering.
As is often the case in a small city, Riggins doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
The percentage of adults in Riggins who are college-educated is close to the national average for all communities of 21.84%: 20.75% of the adults in Riggins have a bachelor's degree or advanced degree.
The per capita income in Riggins in 2018 was $25,729, which is upper middle income relative to Idaho, and middle income relative to the rest of the US.
