Missoula County, not Missoula
Missoula County context, not Missoula figures
These are Missoula County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Missoula measurements.
- Establishments in Missoula County4,816
- Employment at those establishments, Missoula County54,136
- Covered employment, Missoula County65,649
- Average annual pay, Missoula County$59,583
- Average weekly wage, Missoula County$1,146
- Housing units permitted, Missoula County773
- Of those, single family, Missoula County380
- County product, 2024, Missoula County$9,086,379,000
- County product change over the prior year, Missoula County6.8 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Missoula County$72,436
Every figure in this section is published for Missoula County as a whole and is not a measurement of Missoula. It is here because a county backdrop is what a credit committee reads a place against, and it is labelled so that it can never be quoted as the place's own.

Coverage
What this page does not hold.
Every item below could be filled with a plausible figure. None of them is. On a page a lender may read, a number that cannot be traced is worse than an absence, so the absences are named.
- This place is not listed as a community in the FEMA Community Status Book, so no NFIP participation or CRS class is shown.
- Parcel level detail, zoning and flood zone at an address are resolved in the platform, not on this page.
SBA figures count approvals to borrowers whose address is in the place. They are not approvals for projects inside the place boundary: the tape records a borrower city and a project county, and those can differ.
Common questions
Missoula questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Missoula, Montana?
76,514, in 34,941 households. Missoula city covers 35.03 square miles of land, which is 2,184 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.

$70,392. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $473,100. Median gross rent is $1,189 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Missoula businesses?
103 7(a) approvals totalling $46.0 m, across 35 lenders, median approval $150,000, plus 57 504 approvals worth $39.9 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Missoula, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Missoula borrowers get paid back?
Of the 19 loans that have reached a final outcome, 17 were paid in full and 2 charged off, a charge off rate of 10.5 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Are the county figures on this page Missoula figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Missoula County as a whole and there is no place level equivalent. They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Missoula.
Is zoning published for Missoula?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
