Property Appraisals for Atomic City, Idaho

A Small Desert Town With a Big Name

• Atomic City had 41 residents in the 2020 census.
• The town was known as Midway until 1950, a name that reflected its position halfway between Blackfoot and Arco.
• It sits on U.S. Route 26, just south of the Idaho National Laboratory site, at about 5,020 feet in elevation.

Valuing Property Where Sales Are Rare

Property in and around Atomic City tends to be modest homes, manufactured homes and open desert parcels. With very few residents, a single sale can be the only one in town for a long stretch.

When local data is that thin, an appraiser has to look farther afield, often toward other small towns on the Snake River Plain, and explain each adjustment clearly. That careful work is what makes the final value hold up.
