In 2021, there were 30,060 new residents in Montana that had resided in a different state the previous year, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. About 4,278 of those people came from Arizona, followed by 3,740 from Washington.

Hopefully those new Montanans brought sunshine and salmon, respectively.

Only about 2,049 came from California, and 1,627 came from Texas. More than a thousand people each came from North Dakota, Nevada, Tennessee, Florida, Idaho and Nevada. Colorado and Wyoming each sent roughly 800 of presumably their best and brightest to live here.
