This map of Montana displays rates of disabilities across the state at the county level. Disability rates are broken into four categories from 7.6 to 22.7%. The five largest urban areas (Missoula, Helena, Great Falls, Bozeman, and Billings) are labeled on the map to show if there are any differences between rates in urban compared to rural areas. Two of the five most populous cities in Montana are located in counties with the lowest rate category of 7.6 to 12.7%, while the other three are located in counties with the two middle rates categories of 12.8 to 14.6% and 14.7 to 16.9%.
