Covered above. Butte is also a college town for Montana Tech, but that alone wouldn't be enough on its own.
Worth remembering that despite relatively low population density county-wide, both counties are actually densely urban with dense urban centers surrounded by completely empty areas rather than having relatively even population density throughout.
Butte also has had major environmental disasters from mining over the years that make it much more environmentally conscious than your average extraction industry town. And the mining industry was mainly copper, i.e., not an industry that is particularly concerned about CO2 emission issues the way coal or oil/gas are.
