These 4 Montana Towns Made The Best Small Cities List In America

Not everyone wants to live in a big city.  The lights, the noise, the traffic, the neighbors...all of it can be a bit too much to take.

For many a big town or a small city is the way to go.  You get all of the conveniences without a lot of the hassle. While Montana doesn't officially have a big city, we do have several small ones and a few of those are getting national recognition.

Our friends over at WalletHub came out with a list of The Best Small Cities To Live In America and 4 Montana towns made the list.

• Affordability
• Economic Health
• Education and Health

Before we reveal the four Montana towns that made the list, let's take a look at the cheapest towns to live in across The Treasure State.

So which four Montana towns are among The Best Small Cities To Live In America? That would be Bozeman, Great Falls, Helena, and Missoula.

WalletHub took the data from 1300 different small cities across the country to come up with the list, and according to their research any town landing in the 99th percentile ranks among the Top 1 percent, and out of the four Montana towns, only one took that honor and that was the city of Bozeman.

Bozeman, which is one of the fastest-growing towns in the nation, scored exceptionally well in a few of the categories, however, the one category that could use a little work was affordability. Out of the 1300 towns on the list, Bozeman ranks 1041st for affordability.
