Idaho — standing in full
Idaho is the #39 state by economic size ($110bn GSP) and ranks #37/51 on absolute State Power and #33/51 on per-capita intensity. No pillar stands out as a clear strength; the binding concern is research.

Index & pillar read
| Index / pillar | Value | Standing | What a high vs low value means — and where Idaho sits |
|---|---|---|---|
| SPI State Power | 27.1 | Developing · #37/51 | Low here — limited absolute weight — a smaller node leaning on capacity built in larger states. ▲ high: a heavyweight that anchors national AI capacity and pulls in capital and talent · ▼ low: limited absolute weight — a smaller node leaning on capacity built in larger states |
| SCC State Coefficient | 33.0 | Moderate · #33/51 | Mid-pack. High would mean deep capability per resident — a concentrated, high-intensity AI economy; low would mean thin intensity per resident — capability is sparse relative to population. ▲ high: deep capability per resident — a concentrated, high-intensity AI economy · ▼ low: thin intensity per resident — capability is sparse relative to population |
| SDI State Agentic | 35.9 | Moderate · #32/51 | Mid-pack. High would mean agents are widely deployed locally — a near-term productivity multiplier; low would mean agentic deployment is shallow — the local agent lever is under-used. ▲ high: agents are widely deployed locally — a near-term productivity multiplier · ▼ low: agentic deployment is shallow — the local agent lever is under-used |
| Talent Talent | 34.4 | Moderate · #29/51 | Mid-pack. High would mean a deep talent pool — the scarcest input to building AI; low would mean a shallow talent base that constrains how much can be built locally. ▲ high: a deep talent pool — the scarcest input to building AI · ▼ low: a shallow talent base that constrains how much can be built locally |
| Capital Capital | 24.1 | Moderate · #31/51 | Mid-pack. High would mean abundant capital flowing into building cognitive infrastructure; low would mean thin investment — good ideas struggle to scale locally. ▲ high: abundant capital flowing into building cognitive infrastructure · ▼ low: thin investment — good ideas struggle to scale locally |
| Research Research | 29.6 | Developing · #35/51 | Low here — a weak research base — fewer home-grown breakthroughs and spinouts. ▲ high: a strong research base feeding a pipeline of ideas and people · ▼ low: a weak research base — fewer home-grown breakthroughs and spinouts |
| Infrastructure Infrastructure | 41.1 | Moderate · #33/51 | Mid-pack. High would mean the physical and digital rails to run AI at scale are in place; low would mean infrastructure gaps cap how much AI can actually be run locally. ▲ high: the physical and digital rails to run AI at scale are in place · ▼ low: infrastructure gaps cap how much AI can actually be run locally |
| Agentic Agentic | 35.9 | Moderate · #32/51 | Mid-pack. High would mean agents are actively deployed — an early-mover productivity edge; low would mean little agentic deployment — the near-term lever is unused. ▲ high: agents are actively deployed — an early-mover productivity edge · ▼ low: little agentic deployment — the near-term lever is unused |
Strengths to build on
- No pillar stands out as a clear strength yet.
Risk factors
- Binding weakness — Research 29.6 (#35/51, Developing): a weak research base — fewer home-grown breakthroughs and spinouts.
