10 Reasons Everyone is Moving to South Dakota in 2023.

10 Reasons Everyone is Moving to South Dakota. $$$$$
United States map
South Dakota is one of the most moved-to states in 2022 and I am sure it will be again in 2023.
The Mount Rushmore State is so much more than open land and cheap real estate. If you like the outdoors, fishing, hunting, and the Sturgis Bike Rally South Dakota may be what you are looking for.

I hope you enjoy this video about 10 reasons people are moving to South Dakota and learn some things about the United States map

Just to clarify...South Dakota does have four seasons but Spring and Autumn are only a week long. It's either hot or cold and almost always windy.

I would like to add that South Dakota doesn't have a state income tax and they also don't have a inheritance tax, low excise tax, low vehicle registration and no estate tax. We became residents of SD this year because they make it easy to travel (we are on the road full time) and have residency in a state. It dropped out vehicle insurance by half and with better insurance. Love South Dakota

[RagdollsOfLasVegas]

We moved here from Las Vegas, 4 years ago.
We bought a home, last year for under 200k in Canton. We love the schools, parks and people.
We've made so many friends and live our neighbors. Should have made the move a decade ago, but glad to be here.
We get cold, cold weather and a lot of snow but it's a lifestyle and we love it. The other 3 seasons are heavenly and we love what each season offers.
We buy our beef from local farmers. We have had 4 successful gardens, we have beautiful wildlife and our children have agriculture classes in school.
South Dakota has a lot to offer and a wonderful history. We love it.
Our town has just 3, 000 people and just love that!

I was born in South Dakota and grew up in Sturgis, 4 years ago I moved to Indiana. We are moving back to South Dakota this June. South Dakota is my home and I can’t wait to move back.

Briggs: The best part of South Dakota is the people. We honestly love our neighbor South Dakotans. I live in one of the small towns (that you may be doing a video on soon) and the only time we lock up our vehicle is early fall……because if you don’t lock your vehicle, you may find a box of zucchini, tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers in your front seat from the guy that over planted last spring.. Seriously - I’m not exaggerating.
55 year resident of Hamlin County.
And we welcome EVERYONE to become sodaks.

Moved from California to South Dakota almost two years ago. yes, winters are cold and the wind does blow often but we love this state. One of the best decisions we've ever made

[gusruckus]

I've lived in SD all my life. In my opinion this video was very well done. It is objective and accurate. Two thumbs up.

South Dakota is very underrated. Its not perfect but I would recommend it to anyone from Milwaukee, Chicago, Detroit, and Minneapolis that is sick of the crime and high taxes in those cities. It was the probably one of the few places in America where you could eat and drink at a bar when the entire nation was on lock down. The sense of freedom, the people there, the outdoors is amazing.

[paranoidandroid]

The Dakotas are highly rated. I made the mistake of moving to Florida last year to be closer to family but I'm heading back to fantastic Fargo where I had the highest quality of life out of anywhere I ever lived.

[Vincent-kezn]

I'm not much of a hunter, I just love how everyone treated me like a neighbor when I was passing through the beautiful state and great scenery

[IcarusIsCalling]

Lived in Rapid City for 3 years while in the military and loved it. Its the closest you'll ever get to a city in a Hallmark Christmas movie. People are super friendly, it has a small town feel but its large enough to have all the major big box stores/retail you want. Good food scene for the size city, breakfast at Tally's was *muah*. And the bike festival brings in some of the biggest names in concerts. Saw Blink 182 live at the Buffalo Chip for free.

I was born in Texas but grew up in South Dakota since I was 4. After being around the US in Virginia and California, and being around the world in Mexico and Africa I always miss my state. Low cost of living and the people themselves are great. Plus for me personally I actually like the cold lol

[joannmcgowan]

We love South Dakota especially the Black Hills! We never took the opportunity to move there but we try and go ad much as we can ! It all started when we ride to Sturgis!
We always stayed in Custer, which is a cute town ! Love Hill City as well! Thank you for sharing this info!

[jimmurphy]

Grew up in SD, lived there 20+ years. Some things good, some things bad. Winter is 6+ months long, bone-chilling cold, always windy. Spring is wet and sloppy. Fall is really nice for 2 weeks. Summer is humid and windy, but that blows the mosquitos away. I have live in bone dry Utah for the last 30+ years. Love going back to SD for 2 weeks for fishing, seeing the color green, quick hunting trip, but the winters make it uninhabitable for me. I'll visit, but no way am I staying. Other than hunting or fishing there isn't much to do. Alcohol flows freely. You decide if that is good or bad.

So I drove to Montana this past November from New Jersey. And I drove through South Dakota for the first time ever. I stopped at Mount Rushmore in Badlands national Park, and I just wanna say the Black Hills national Forest area of South Dakota is one of the most beautiful places America has to offer

[mikewest]

I’m one of those that really enjoyed my stay in South Dakota while on pilgrimage to Sturgis. The western part of the state is so beautiful.

[Osiris]

I visited the Black Hills of SD a couple years ago. Incredible scenery

[milessampson]

South Dakota does fly under the radar. The weather is on the extreme end of the spectrum for most Americans to consider it as a relocation hotspot but it’s worth talking about as a place to raise a family or spend part of the year in retirement. I spent an extended period of time there in 2021, specifically the northeast part of the state. It’s distinctly more “Midwest” with a strong sense of community and high quality of life even for people making average incomes. It surprised me that most families owned a boat or an ATV for example. It was hard to go anywhere without encountering talkative, friendly people and genuine, helpful customer service. Eastern SD is distinctly different compared with western SD, though, which looks and has a culture more in line with Wyoming or Montana. Cross the Missouri River and the corn fields turn into cattle ranches, towns into villages and houses into homesteads. It’s not for everyone, but if it is there are few places better.

[marjoriesisco]

Moved to Pierre, SD 2 years ago. Very friendly place! Now have lots of good friends. Beautiful scenery and high quality of life. My only regret is not moving here sooner.

A lot of these residents don’t actually stay and live in South Dakota. It’s extremely easy to establish residency in SD. All you have to do is stay for a day or two in a hotel or campground and you can declare residency, get a license, address, etc.

This is extremely appealing to a growing population of retirees and “Nomads” who live in RVs and travel around the country full time. They need a domicile and South Dakota has favorable tax rates as well as making it easy to “reside” there so it’s become a popular place to “move” to and that is undoubtedly skewing the population numbers.

If you doubt this, go to an RV campground in a popular recreational area and half the license plates are from South Dakota.
