What the data shows in Montana

Across Montana's 56 counties, 6 have two or more of the four health-risk areas (environmental, disease, provider access, and social conditions) above the national threshold at the same time. These are the places where several pressures land together rather than one at a time.

Statewide, the health-risk area scoring highest on average is gaps in provider access, the leading driver of community health need in Montana.

The most widespread specific risk pattern is Smoke Burden, triggered in 32 counties, followed by Respiratory Burden in 18 counties.

Prairie County carries the highest overall need in the state, with an opportunity score of 77 out of 100 (high). Higher scores mean more burden relative to the rest of the country.
