AI Overview

Wibaux County is a small, rural Montana county with a population of 1,148 that has contracted 2.3% over five years, reflecting the broader depopulation pressures common to the region's agricultural economy. The labor force is limited at 58.8% participation, with 25.8% of residents holding a bachelor's degree or higher and a median worker earnings figure of $43,672 against a median household income of $67,462. Housing costs are notably low—median home values sit at $92,300—though a 15.9% poverty rate points to uneven income distribution across the county's small workforce.
