Foster County is one of the smaller US counties by population, with roughly 3,372 residents. At that scale, median figures shift markedly with even a few high- or low-income households moving in or out — useful for general comparisons but with wider error bars than larger counties. FEMA's National Risk Index ranks Foster County in the bottom 7% nationally for natural-hazard exposure — an underrated factor in long-term housing-cost comparisons.
