Under Governor Bullock’s Leadership, Montana’s Debt Among Lowest in the Nation

Specific metrics from the Moody’s report include:

Ranked 4th best for net tax supported debt per capita at $254; 50 state average is $1,419;

Ranked 4th best for net tax supported debt as a % of personal income at 0.7%; 50 state average is 3.1%;

Ranked 3rd best for net tax supported debt at $259,835 (in thousands); 50 state average is $10,191,421 (in thousands); and

Ranked 4th best for net tax supported debt as a % of state GDP at 0.59%; 50 state average is 2.67%.
