Montana will become much older in coming decades as the “Baby Boom” generation
reaches traditional retirement age. Changing demographics will affect state and local
government budgets in a variety of ways. The information and analysis, below, focuses on changes in the age distribution by holding all other
factors constant: expenditures per student, per capita incomes, tax rates and so forth. Thus, the
projected changes described stem solely from the expected changes in the age composition
of the Montana population. All files are in pdf format.
