Can Montanans Still Afford the Dream | Bozeman News
Description
Montana’s dreamy skies and wide-open spaces still lure families—but can they really afford to live there? Housing costs are the biggest hurdle, especially for those who missed the pre-pandemic buying window. While everyday expenses match the national average, gas, groceries, and healthcare cost more. Utilities? Surprisingly cheaper. And good news: wages are now rising faster than inflation since 2023, helping keep up with the cost of living. For now, yes, the average Montanan can still afford to call it home—but as more people move in, affordability remains a critical conversation shaping Montana’s future.
