Where the Coeur d'Alene price comes from
Labor is 39% of the midpoint bill here, against 40% nationally. The mix of trades behind this job is tile and stone setters (85%), construction laborers (15%). We weight each trade's local median wage by that share and compare it with the national median. In Coeur d'Alene the blended ratio comes out at 0.89. BLS does not publish this trade for the metro, so we used the Idaho statewide median.
Materials are scaled with BEA's regional price parity for goods. Coeur d'Alene is at 96.2 against 100 for the US, so a materials line of $3,700 nationally becomes $3,550 here (midpoint, 200 sq ft). Permits follow the all-items index of 98.3: $0 to $0.
Data note: 85% of the labor weighting for this project uses a statewide median because BLS has no published metro figure for that trade in Coeur d'Alene. The wage table below marks each row.
What local crews earn in Coeur d'Alene
The labor line is built from BLS wage data, one trade at a time. This job draws on 2 trades. We compare each trade's local median with the US median, weight the ratios by how much of the job each trade does, and apply the blend to the national labor cost. For Coeur d'Alene the blend is 0.89.
Tile and stone setters (47-2044) carry 85% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Coeur d'Alene metro, so we used the Idaho statewide median: $23.05 an hour against $26.77 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $19.70 and $27.16 an hour.
For construction laborers (47-2061, weighted 15%) the local median is $24.48 an hour, which is 8% above the national $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $21.40 and $28.20 an hour. BLS counts 1,080 of them working in the area, 149.4 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 70.5), so the local bench is deeper than average.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (tile and stone setters) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $330 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $270. That is a swing of roughly 4.6% to 5.6% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Coeur d'Alene has 72,280 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 254th by size among the 300 metros on this site.
