Affordability

You may already be thinking "well affordability is out of the question" and you aren't entirely wrong.

Montana ranked #24 in that ranking putting us right in the middle of the pack. As we see housing continue to rise in Montana this is one metric we might see us falling closer to the bottom of the rankings over the next few years.
