One source cited a $147,500 median home value; a second cited a lower $137,000 (2023); Rosebud County's own figure ran $159,650 -- this record discloses that spread rather than resolving it to one number (base record).
Rent runs equally, genuinely low
Median rent ran $638-$780/month across cited sources (Rosebud County's own figure: $679.50) -- dramatically below every other market in this project's Montana batch (base record).
A real, disclosed connection to the plant's transition risk
This record credits directly that Colstrip's genuinely low prices plausibly reflect real market pricing-in of the disclosed Colstrip Steam Electric Station transition risk, not merely general rural affordability (base record).
