The report, prepared for the Montana Association of Realtors and the Montana Building Industry Association, concludes that four counties qualify as “unaffordable,” using criteria from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Those four are Flathead, Missoula, Gallatin and Ravalli. Flathead and Gallatin have the lowest affordability indexes. The study also states that a significant percentage of tenants statewide pay a disproportionate amount of their income on rent.
