What is the population of cows in Montana?

It's becoming more difficult to keep up with how large Montana's cities have become, mostly because they keep growing at an impressive rate. There was a time where Montana license plate numbers would immediately let you know what county the car was from - the first number reflected the county size, in order, decades ago.

Many people need to seek "greener pastures" for work, housing and opportunity in other states for their pursuit of happiness and security.

Where does Montana rank for population growth in 2023

Rapid growth gets a lot of attention in Montana, but a whopping 25% of our counties have experienced drops in net migration from 2020 - 2022. Some counties saw hundreds moving out.

Last week, I talked about the shocking statistic that only nearly 54% of Montana's population is made up of people who were born here. Here's what others have said as a reaction to this study!

While large in size, Montana is actually pretty small compared to the rest of the United States.  With a population just over 1 million, Montana ranked #44 in population after the 2020 census. In fact, it is so small that 9 cities in the United States have a larger population than the entire state of Montana. ...

With an estimated 1.1 million people living in the Treasure State, we've got quite a decent number of Montanans here. However, the actual number of native Montanans is much lower than that.

Montana is a hot spot for new move-ins and while the population for the state is just over a million, how many of those were actually born in Montana?
