Age Distribution The graphical illustrations below show the distribution of various age groups in a population. The shape of the graph conveys how many dependents there are. Dependents rely upon the economically active for economic support. Many developing areas have a higher number of young dependents. The population has a higher percentage of young dependents than the White population in Montana and Wyoming. 7 Montana 5.9 6 5.4 5.0 5.0 5 4.3 4.0 4.0 4 3.6 3.4 3.2 3.0 2.9 3.0 3 3.0 2.9 3.0 3.3 3.4 3.3 2.5 2.8 3.1 2.9 2 2.5 2.5 2.2 1 1.7 1.2 0 1.8 0.8 1.3 0.5 White, N = 884,961 Statewide, N = 62,555, Reservation, N = 38,354 1.0 0.5 0.2 0.3 0.1 0.0 Source: 2010 Census Summary File, Table DP-1 The age distribution for the entire population of Montana differs from the American Indians state-wide and American Indians on reservations. American Indians on reservations have a younger population: 36 percent of people in MT are less than 18 years old, compared to 21 percent of the White population. The median age for people in MT is 26 statewide, 25 for on reservations, compared to about 42 for the White population of MT.

The population distributions of Wyoming, like Montana, show a younger population: 40 percent of people on WY reservations are less than 18 years old, compared to 23 percent of the White population. The median age for people in WY is 27 statewide, 24 for on reservations, compared to about 37 for the White population of WY. Child Welfare Disproportionality is the level at which groups of children are present in the child welfare system at higher or lower percentages or rates than in the general population. The disproportionality index is a measure of the degree a given jurisdiction is disproportionate. 2 The index is calculated by dividing the proportion of children in foster care for a given race by the proportion of the same group in the child population. The resulting ratios that are under 1 indicate underrepresentation, ratios of 1.0 indicate no disproportionality, and scores of 1.1 and greater indicate overrepresentation. Disproportionality scores are calculated for the number of children entering care, exiting care, and remaining in care at the end of the year. 3 Montana Disproportionality Index, 2012 American Indian/Alaska Native Asian/Pacific Islander Exits Hispanic/Latino In care Entries Caucasian/White African American/Black 0 1 2 3 4 Overrepresentation 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 Race of Children in Out-of-Home Care 9. 5. 27.2% 35.1% 31. 4.7% 3. 4.1% 80. 58. 50.2% 52.

In Wyoming, 85 percent of households have access to a computer (about 11,000 out of 13,000 households), compared to 93 percent of White households in that state. About half of Wyoming households have access to a PC and broadband and about 40 percent have a PC but no internet, more than three times the percentage of White Wyoming households. In Montana, about a third of households do not have a computer, which is two times the percentage of households in Wyoming. 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 8 6 Has PC Households 5 46% PC with broadband Wyoming 3 1 PC, No Internet Montana 31% No PC Source: U.S. Census Bureau, 2013 American Community Survey, Table B28009C 4 Confidence intervals are displayed at the 90-percent confidence level.

Median Earnings (Dollars) Female Earnings as % of Male Earnings Median Annual Earnings and Gender Earnings Ratio for Full-Time Workers The figure below shows the median annual earnings for men and women for and total full time workers in the Rocky Mountain states. The figure shows that the gender wage gap is smaller for full-time workers in most Montana and Wyoming. Women of all groups earn less than men of the same group, with the female/male earnings ratios ranging from a low of 63 percent for White full-time workers in Wyoming to a high of 85 percent for rural workers in Montana. 80,000 70,000 60,000 72% 77% 6 8 71% 8 9 8 7 50,000 40,000 30,000 40,922 29,406 34,688 26,840 50,047 31,585 34,036 32,652 27,210 23,020 35,417 30,185 6 5 4 3 20,000 2 10,000 0 White White MT WY MT Urban MT Rural Male, Median Earnings Female Earnings as % of Male Earnings Female Median Earnings State MT WY MT MT Urban Rural Race White White Male Median Earnings 40,922 34,688 50,047 34,036 32,652 35,417 Female Median Earnings 29,406 26,840 31,585 27,210 23,020 30,185 Female as % of Male Earnings 72% 77% 6 8 71% 8

The median of annual earnings for women in Montana was $26,840, 34 percent less than White men. In Wyoming, women made about half as the median for White men, and men made 68 percent as much as White men.

Employment Status The Census definition of unemployment differs from the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) measure of unemployment. Persons are considered by BIA as "unemployed" if they are thought to be available for work, but not employed. This more realistic approach differs from the definition of unemployment in the Census Bureau data which requires that a person be "actively seeking work" within the last four weeks to be counted as unemployed. The Census definition does not take into account job seeking patterns where persons do not actively search for work when they know it is not available, common for many reservation areas. With that caveat, below is the percent unemployed according to the 5 year estimate (2006-2010) for the Rocky Mountain states. 12% 2% 1% $50,000 to $100,000 $150,000 $200,000 $300,000 $500,000 $99,999 to $149,999to $199,999to $299,999to $499,999to $999,999 $1,000,000 or more Source: U.S. Census Bureau, 2006-2010 American Community Survey, Table DP04 Percent Unemployed 2 2 1 18% 2 6% 12% 1 Total AoiC Total Aoic Montana MT Rural Wyoming WY Rural
