Reading an Idaho lot
146 establishments employ 2,445 people in Idaho, about 17 each against 82 for the fifty states. It is one of the smaller warehousing states, so a lot here is rarely one of many on the same road. Small sites tend to mean a few stacks at a time.
Idaho has 8.7 food manufacturing jobs for every warehousing job, against 0.9 across the fifty states. Plants outweigh the warehouses that serve them, which favours clean decks and stocks rotated on a schedule. Among the other industries counted here, auto parts (480 jobs) is 1.3 times the size of pharmaceutical manufacturing (365).
Ada County holds 41.9% of Idaho's warehousing jobs, and the top 3 listed hold 75.8%. Three counties carry most of the market, and a lot near any of them is close to the most dock activity. None of the metros in the dossier sits inside Idaho, so a lot is read by its ZIP.
USDA counted 58 million cubic feet of refrigerated warehouse space in Idaho, 21st of 50 and about 23,722 cubic feet for each warehousing job, against 2,254 across the states it reports. Cold storage is a bigger part of the picture here, so expect cold-chain lots: decks that tolerate cold and moisture, and questions about washdown.
