Garbage Disposal Repair in Idaho
Across the 30 Idaho towns we route calls in, 75% of housing units are detached houses and 15% are in multi-unit buildings. That split decides who owns the machine under the sink, which decides who pays for it.
The quick answer
Of the housing in the 30 Idaho towns covered here, 75% is detached, 15% sits in multi-unit buildings and 5% is manufactured. Ownership of the disposal follows that split far more reliably than the fault does.

How Idaho is built
| Housing type | Share of housing units |
|---|---|
| Detached houses | 75% |
| Attached houses | 4% |
| Multi-unit buildings | 15% |
| Manufactured and mobile homes | 5% |
Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-year estimates, table B25024 (units in structure), 2023 release. Universe: 362,511 housing units including vacant ones, across the areas we cover.
The state does not divide evenly: 24 Idaho towns lead on detached houses, 4 Idaho towns lead on single-family housing, 2 Idaho towns lead on manufactured homes. That is why the town pages below carry their own figure rather than inheriting this one.
