Montana averages just 7 people per square mile.

Montana is a very large state in the U.S., but not many people live there. When we say it averages just 7 people per square mile, that means if you took a one-mile by one-mile square of land (like a big neighborhood block), on average, there would only be about 7 people living in that whole area.

To compare:

In a big city like New York City, that same size area might have tens of thousands of people.
But in Montana, it’s super open and spacious—lots of nature, mountains, forests, and farmland.

So basically, Montana is all about big skies, wide open spaces, and not a lot of crowds. It’s perfect if you like peace, quiet, and nature. 🌲🏞️

Let’s gooo! 😄 Here’s the lowdown on Montana—in the chillest, most understandable way:

🌄 Montana Basics

Part of Yellowstone National Park is also in Montana.
If you like fishing, camping, hunting, snowboarding, or just chilling in nature—this is paradise.
