7 States With Less People Than Montana

One of the most popular statements about Montana is that we have more cows than people.

Well, it's true. In fact, according to some recent data, it's a little over 2 cows to every Montanan. While that's an impressive number, it still doesn't stop folks from talking about how we're full and there's no room for newcomers. While many locals embrace the economic growth that people moving here brings to the state, some are simply anti-growth, anti-progress, and anti-anything new.

Now, I know what you're probably thinking. "Why should I leave? This is my home! They can leave!"

I hear what you're saying, but unless they're severely allergic to winter, the chances of them leaving are slim to none. Montana is a beautiful place that comes with a sense of freedom. Living in Montana is a dream for many. The open range, the mountains, the history, all of it.
