Dunno exactly where Idaho falls on the grand scale of bars/resident. But it couldn't be too far outside of the Top 10. The Cap Times reports that North Dakota (1 per 1,580 residents) and Montana (1 per 1,633) run one-two in the number of most watering holes per residents. Alaska is 10th with 1 per 4,171. (Notice how all these states are in cold climates?) Idaho probably falls in the next 5 to 10 places with 1 per 4,726 residents (total population: 1,549,987). Of Idaho's bars, 175 have one to 4 employees; 102 have 5 to 9 employees; 37 have 10 to 19 employees; 13 have 20 to 49 employees; and one has 50 to 99 employees. You can see a map re: Top 10 information and relevant info for all states re: presence of bars here.

Question: Do you think Coeur d'Alene has too many/too few bars?
