Broken down here by the arrestee’s race, sex and age.

An arrest is an event, not a person. One person arrested three times in a year is three arrests, so these are not counts of individuals and a rate is not the share of a population that was arrested.
Race is recorded by the arresting agency, not reported by the person arrested.
The FBI publishes no ethnicity field with these arrests, so no Hispanic or Latino figure can be derived from them. Hispanic arrestees are recorded under a race, which is why the population each rate divides by is that race across all origins rather than the non-Hispanic part of it.
The FBI’s “Multiple” category is an arresting officer’s classification of one person. The Census Bureau’s “two or more races” is what a person says about themselves. They are not the same population, so that row carries a count and no rate.
Reporting to the FBI is voluntary, and the FBI publishes no participating-agency figure with arrest data, so a change in an arrest count cannot be separated from a change in who reported. The size of that is measurable from its own state figures: national arrests rose 8.3% between 2022 and 2023, while NY alone rose 121.8% — 204,565 arrests from one state, against 539,374 nationally. Counts are not comparable across that year.
A rate is not published where fewer than 20 arrests lie behind it. That is the convention US federal vital statistics use for an unreliable rate, and it matters most in the smallest groups: nineteen arrests among a few hundred residents produces a figure that one or two arrests would move by a third. The count is always shown.
Comparing the composition of arrestees with the composition of a population assumes equal offending and equal likelihood of arrest across groups. This data supports neither assumption, and nothing here implies either.
344 arrests in 2025 carry no race at all — not even “unknown” — so the race rows total slightly less than the arrests recorded.

Idaho elsewhere on the Factbook

Reported crime Crime and justice
Offenses reported to police by type, the trend, and the reporting coverage.
Most dangerous cities in Idaho Crime and justice
What each agency serving 25,000 or more reported, ranked. Agency populations overlap, so these do not add up to the state.
Prison population Crime and justice
People held under the state’s correctional authority, and the imprisonment rate. A different publisher counting a different thing.
Hate crime Crime and justice
Incidents reported to the FBI by bias motivation, as counts — the collection publishes no participation share, so there is no rate to compare states on.
Federal obligations Federal spending
What federal agencies obligated against a place of performance in the state, per resident and by agency.
Registered nonprofits Nonprofits
How many organizations the IRS lists in the state, what they report as revenue, and which kinds of work they do.
Payments to doctors Health
What drug and device companies reported paying doctors with a practice address in the state, and the largest recipients.
Farm program payments Farm subsidies
What the Farm Service Agency paid through the state’s county offices, by program and by recipient. The offices that administered the payments, not a count of farms: a recipient addressed elsewhere is counted where they were paid.
Paycheck Protection Program loans PPP loans
The PPP loans SBA guaranteed to businesses operating in the state, by county, with how many carry a forgiveness amount and how many were charged off. Loans, not businesses: a business with two draws is two loans.
Public schools Schools
Pupils, schools and teachers, the largest districts, what districts spend per pupil and where the money comes from, and the colleges that take federal student aid.
Banks and credit unions Banks and credit unions
The FDIC-insured banks headquartered in the state and their offices, and the credit unions based there and their sites, each per resident and against every other state.
Housing Housing
The homes under HUD’s rental assistance programs in the state, by program and county, and its tax-credit housing, each per resident and against every other state.
Mortgage lending Mortgage lending
The mortgage applications, loans and denials lenders reported in the state under the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, and its largest lenders and counties.
College athletics Sports
Every college in the state that reported to the Equity in Athletics survey, ranked by its athletics revenue, with its expenses, athletes and athletic aid.
Federal civilian workforce Federal salaries
Federal civilian employees stationed in the state by agency and occupation, with the pay OPM publishes and the share it withholds.
The Idaho Factbook entry Across the Factbook
Every measure the Factbook publishes for this state in one place, each with where it ranks among the others and the record it came from.

The immigration hub has no page for this state: EOIR runs no immigration court here, and CBP publishes by sector and field office, which are its own areas of responsibility rather than a geography. Immigration and the border.
