Note: Data for Youth in Detention represent the most populous Idaho counties including: Booneville County, Elmore County, Mini-Cassia County, Twin Falls County, and Canyon County.

However, because detention data was not collected for the less populated counties in Idaho, the data represented in this table only represents the five counties listed above. To make the comparison accurate, the overall youth population represents the five counties listed above.
