Montana’s Population Aging Faster
Description
Montana’s population is aging faster than predicted, with seniors set to make up 22.65% of the state by 2030—up from the previous estimate of 22%—while kids under 17 will shrink to just 19.54%, down from 21%. This shift, driven by falling birth rates and rising retirements, means more deaths than births for most of the decade, except for a tiny positive growth in 2024. The state’s future hinges on newcomers filling the gap, forcing a rethink of resources and services as Montana’s demographic landscape transforms rapidly.
