Montana topped the charts for the fourth year in a row in a national ranking of startup activity, the Kauffman Foundation reported on Thursday.

The 2016 report on entrepreneurial trends in each of the 50 states also placed Montana high in the number of startups launched by business owners looking to take advantage of a market opportunity.
