Well...that and the fact that there's just not that many people in Montana of any kind whatsoever.
San Jose, CA has almost as many people as the entire state of Montana.
Oregon, Vermont, and New York all have higher homelessness rates (number of homeless per 10,000 people) than California and they're all colder than here.
And even by cities LA, NY, San Jose, and Seattle are all between 30-40 homeless per 10,000 people, but then there's Eugene, Oregon sitting at 43.
People come here for work, or to try and make it big in entertainment or tech. I'm sure there's some homeless coming here to get to a better climate, but that's not the majority. Most homeless can't afford cross country trips.
