Renter-occupied housing makes up 35.51% of occupied homes, well above the state share of 24.36% and the national share of 21.81%, which points to a local housing market where renting is unusually common.
The median home value is $156,900, noticeably lower than the state median of $213,400 and also below the national median of $173,750. Buyers face lower purchase prices than in most of Montana, but the median property tax rate of 0.96% is higher than both the state rate of 0.68% and the national rate of 0.74%, so taxes take a larger bite out of each dollar of home value.
Median household income in the county is $47,640.50, compared with $59,344 statewide and $65,108 nationally. Incomes sit well below both benchmarks, which fits with the county's lower home values and rents.

Overall, the figures describe an affordable county with modest incomes, low unemployment, a large rental segment, and property tax costs that run above state and national norms.
