For all sorts of population statistical break-outs by county, city, town, unincorporated area or ZIP Code:
1. First go to: FactFinder @ Census.gov
2. At the top of the page, where it says, “Get a Fact Sheet for your community…”, enter the name of the county, city, town, unincorporated area or ZIP Code (if using the ZIP Code, bear in mind that the borders of ZIP Codes are not the same as the borders of the community whose name that ZIP Code “shares”) in the box labeled “town” and select Montana for “state”, and then click “GO”.
You will be able to access tables that show how many and, except for counties, maps that show where the different races and socio-economic groups are in that city, town, area or ZIP Code. Here’s an example using Bozeman.

Very cool — I always love checking out Montana demographics!
