Despite population growth cooling across the Flathead Valley, Kalispell is one of the fastest growing cities in the state and country, according to the U.S. Census Bureau in May.
The federal agency released the latest population counts for the nation’s counties, cities and towns in the spring. Kalispell ranked 48th out of nearly 1,900 U.S. cities and towns with more than 20,000 residents for population growth between April 2020 and July 2025. That period saw the city expand from 25,076 residents to 31,851 — a 27% increase.
