In Cascade County, the population changes but doesn’t grow
Then Montana’s second largest county, Cascade County’s 1970 population was 81,802. Forty-eight years later, Cascade’s population was 81,643. During the same 48-year-period, Montana’s population grew from 694,409 to 1,062,305.
Cascade is stagnant, and now only Montana’s fifth largest county, but the rest of Montana’s six most populous counties are growing at a healthy clip.
