While most Americans associate the city of Boise with potato production, it is also the capital city of Idaho and the economic and cultural center of the state as well as the county seat of Ada County. With a population of more than 205,000 people and a designation as the #1 Most Secure Place to Live, the city itself has much more to offer than just its world famous potatoes. The yellowpages for Idaho includes listings for three major universities within Boise's city limits: Boise State University, University of Idaho and Idaho State University. It is also home to Boise Bible College which readies future clergymen for a life leading the church. Boise is also the cultural nexxus for the arts in Idaho. The number of jazz venues and museums in its local business directory is impressive and includes the Idaho Historical Museum, the Boise Art Museum, the Idaho Black History Museum, the Basque Museum and Cultural Center and the Boise WaterShed. Second only to Bakersfield, California, Boise has a large population of residents of Basque heritage and its culture and entertainment venues reflect that fact.Boise's local economy relies less on potatoes and agriculture as many might think. It is the host of the home office of several large corporations, including Idaho Timber, Albertsons LLC and WinCo Foods. While the population continues to grow and the city to expand, it is a remarkably homogenous city with Caucasian residents making up nearly nine-tenths of the population.
