Analysis# Montana Population Analysis
Montana's population of 1,143,226 in 2024 reflects modest demographic significance, ranking 43rd nationally. The state experienced 15.55% growth over the past decade—a rate substantially exceeding its historical average—yet remains far below its peak growth period of the 1910s, when Montana experienced explosive expansion tied to homesteading and mining booms. This recent acceleration suggests renewed migration interest, though Montana's absolute population size and rank position it among the nation's least populous states.
