Moving To Montana? Which City Is Ranked At The Top?

Folks are moving here from all over, especially the states of California and Washington. But the West Coast isn't the only place people are moving from. States like Texas and Arizona are well represented, and while it might come as a surprise, a large number of southerners now call Montana home.

The results? Inflated home prices, increased traffic, and lots of angry locals.
