What it’s like

The place. Rexford is a very small town in Lincoln County, in the northwest of Montana, where residents know one another well. Winters are cold and snowy, and summers are warm, so the seasons shape much of daily life. Its quiet, close-knit character is part of what draws people to it.

Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, or in shops, restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Building trades also employ people here, so local work is a mix of service and construction jobs.

Things to do. The Kootenay River and Tooley Lake are both a short drive away, and either is a good choice for time outdoors near the water. Lake Koocanusa, a reservoir a longer drive away, is another option for those willing to travel a little farther.

Natural hazards

  5. Inland floodingRelatively moderate

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Rexford’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.

From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Lincoln County.
