Black Population in Montana: 2020 Census Data

According to the 2020 United States Census, Montana was home to 13,369 Black or African American residents. This figure represented approximately 0.5% of the state's total population.

While Montana's overall population remains predominantly white, the Black community has seen gradual growth over recent decades, concentrated mainly in urban areas such as Billings, Missoula, and Great Falls. The data reflects broader demographic trends in the Mountain West, where minority populations are increasing but still constitute a small share compared to national averages.
