Gallatin County is still growing. ... Gallatin County’s population has nearly hit 112,000, according to new estimates by the U.S. Census Bureau released Thursday. That’s up 22,363 people — or 25% — from 2010. ... The new numbers chart populations in Montana through July 1, 2018. Gallatin County outpaces all other counties in the state over the last eight years.
“It’s what everybody already knows, a lot of people want to live in Gallatin County,” said Bryce Ward, co-founder of ABMJ Consulting and an economist with the University of Montana. “It has a growing economy, decent jobs and is a nice place to live.” ... Most of those arrivals — 16,853 — are people who moved to the area. The rest is home-grown, as in more people having babies than dying.
More people comes with some tension.
