Covid Changed The Dynamic Of Montana Counties

While the pandemic was 4 years ago, we're still seeing people decide to move to the Big Sky state.

Oddly enough, one of the places that has seen a big influx of new residents is Bozeman, which is in Gallatin County, yet where we got our data from doesn't list Gallatin County in their rankings.

In fact, it's one of six counties without data; the others are Park, Madison, Park, Ravalli, and Sanders counties.

Why they aren't included we don't know, but if we can get our hands on the data we'll update accordingly.
