Sources: American Community Survey 5-year estimates, 2020–2024; Population Estimates Program, Vintage 2025 county totals; Building Permits Survey, county annual and monthly files; Fair Market Rents, FY2026 (effective Oct 1 2025) — HUD eGIS feature service; County Business Patterns 2023 (fallback for BLS QCEW).
Known gaps
- Building permits: no city or county here publishes permits online. New construction appears only through state permits (DEQ, MDT) and new address points.
- Recorded documents: the recorder’s index is not online; documents are searched in person at the courthouse.
- Sale prices: Montana does not disclose sale prices, so none appear on Data 4 MT.
