Who moves from Nevada to Montana
The Census Bureau's 2024 survey puts the flow at about 226 people a year (±243), against about 521 (±357) from Montana to Nevada, so Montana loses about 295 people a year on this exchange. Nevada is the 30th-largest of the 45 states sending people to Montana; Montana took in about 35,735 from other states in all. The margin of error is as large as the estimate, so read it as a handful of households rather than a count.
