Living Here

Although Montana is the fourth-largest state in terms of area, only slightly more than a million people call the state home. That means there’s plenty of space for everyone. But even though the population might be sparse, our cities are vibrant. 

If you’re thinking about moving to Montana, here are a few basics you should know, courtesy of Livability.

We have four seasons: From snow in the winter to warm temperatures in the summer, you can experience all four seasons and the unique activities that go with each. The average daytime temperature is 28 degrees in winter and 85 degrees in summer.

City living and open spaces: You’ll find both in Montana, often within a short drive of each other.

Lower cost of living: The median home price and property tax are well below national averages. And there’s no sales tax!

Montana is known for its outdoor recreation, and with a plethora of opportunities for fishing, hunting, skiing, hiking, biking, and more, there’s something for every age and skill level. But you’ll also find a rich history and a range of cultural opportunities in the state’s 55 state and two national parks.
