Can I use grants or workforce funding here?

Eligibility depends on the exact program and your circumstances. Ask the financial-aid office about federal aid, and check the Montana workforce training source for workforce-funded options. A school listing or a historic Pell percentage does not guarantee assistance.

Living costs & local context

Budget context for Poplar city, Montana

Median monthly gross rent$6652020–2024 ACS · 2024 dollars · margin of error ±$379
Median household income$43,4382020–2024 ACS · 2024 dollars · margin of error ±$22,861
Resident population estimate6352020–2024 ACS · margin of error ±183
Montana price level94.6BEA regional price parity · 2024 · US = 100

Gross rent combines contract rent with the estimated average monthly cost of tenant-paid utilities and fuels. It describes occupied rental housing, not current asking rents, student accommodation or the cost of a room in a shared home. Household income is not an individual worker’s salary.

The state price index compares the overall price of goods and services with the national average. An index of 94.6 is approximately 5.4% below the national price level. It is context for planning, not a multiplier for a personal budget or a cost-adjusted salary.
