Hill County, MT Property Records & Statistics
Renting is both cheaper and more common in Hill County than in most of Montana. The median rent is $632, compared with $736.75 across the state and $840.25 nationally, and 33.89% of occupied homes are renter-occupied, well above the state share of 24.36% and the national share of 21.81%.
Homes are inexpensive here. The median home value is $109,900, far below Montana's $213,400 and also under the national median of $173,750. Property taxes work the other way: the county's median property tax rate of 1.07% is higher than the state rate of 0.68% and the national rate of 0.74%, so owners pay a heavier tax rate on lower-priced homes.
The median household income is $56,719, a little under the Montana figure of $59,344 and below the national $65,108. The unemployment rate is 3.11%, which is higher than the state's 2.16% and the national 2.87%, suggesting a somewhat tighter job market than average.
Together, the figures describe an affordable, rental-heavy county where low rents and home prices are paired with modest incomes, above-average unemployment, and a relatively high tax rate.
