KNOW YOUR GEOGRAPHY
The editor follows Montana’s county boundaries along the western mountains and across the eastern plains. Gallatin contains Bozeman and Yellowstone contains Billings. A larger shape on the map does not imply a larger population.
Tribal lands and reservation boundaries are separate geographic layers. This county map represents Census county identities.

Richland had +23.08 net domestic movers per 1,000 residents, Flathead +7.95, and Lewis and Clark +3.52. A small population makes a rate sensitive to a relatively modest number of movers.
