Missoula Core & Nearby CDPs

The urban heart of the metro centered on the city of Missoula (pop. ~73,500), home to the University of Montana and the cultural, commercial, and transit hub of western Montana. This region includes the immediately adjacent CDPs of Orchard Homes, East Missoula, Target Range, and Bonner-West Riverside — communities that share Missoula's infrastructure but maintain distinct identities outside the city limits.
