The Top 5 Countries People Are Moving From To Live In Montana.

We all know that for the last few years, people from all over the United States (especially California, Oregon, and Washington) have been moving to Montana, but it seems that some of our "transplants" are coming from other countries as well.

Chances are, if you live in one of Montana's bigger cities, you've no doubt run across a person or two not only not from Montana, but not from the United States.

In many cases, several of these folks have come to Montana to work.  Agriculture is huge here in Montana and requires lots of hands on deck.  Plus, there is all the building that's taking place across the state.  As the construction industry continues to boom, lots of folks from other countries have come to our beloved state to work and provide a brighter future for their families.

So what are the countries that people are leaving to move to Montana? Well, you might just be surprised. The folks over at Stacker have compiled data over a 5 year period to see the countries people are leaving to come to Montana, and here are the Top 5.

#5 China

#4 Philippines

#3 Mexico

#2 Germany

#1 Canada

It's certainly interesting information. I was a little shocked to see that our Irish friends didn't make the Top 5, especially when you consider Butte has the 2nd highest Irish population in the nation. However, according to the data Ireland is ranked 22nd.

Of course, the truth is, almost all of us are from someplace else.  Whether it was several generations ago, or in the last few years.  Do you know what your heritage is?
