Bureau of Business and Economic Research, Migration Information

The Montana Poll is the only survey that examines the vital issue of migration on a quarterly basis. While the U.S. Census Bureau tracks Montana's in- and out-migration, only the Montana Poll examines state migration behavior in the context of place of origin, length of tenure in the place of origin, returning to Montana, and migration motivation. The Poll places a special emphasis on measuring the various motivations for in-migration and potential out-migration. For information about the Montana Poll contact Jim Sylvester.
