With all of the growth that Idaho has seen over the years, it's hard to imagine any part of the state that isn't growing. It's hard to imagine that any part of the state would have a population in the single digits, but there are towns like that in Idaho. According to WorldPopulationReview.com, one Idaho town has maintained its three-person population over the past eleven years. That town is Warm River.

Warm River is in Fremont County between Rexburg and Wyoming. It is actually a reasonably popular camping area, just not a popular place to live.
