Why So Many Americans Move To Montana And Not North Dakota

Did you know that between 2021 and 2022, Montana saw a domestic net migration of over 16,000 people, resulting in a 1.5% change in population? In fact, when looking at percent population change, Montana is among the most popular states that people moved to in 2022. However, Montana’s neighbor to the east, North Dakota, saw a negative net migration between 2021 and 2022. That’s right, more people left this state than moved to it, resulting in a negative net migration of about 2,700 people and a percent population change of 0.2%. But why is this? After all, these states are geographically adjacent and have plenty of similarities.

Well, today on Across the Globe we’re going to be looking at why so many Americans move to Montana – but not to North Dakota.

Why is it so empty? Maybe because it's 40 below zero in the winter?

Few misinformation points in this video. First of all, most of Yellowstone National Park is in Wyoming. Montana only has a sliver so people don't go to Montana to visit Yellowstone, they go to Wyoming.
Second, 60% of Montana has the same Great Plains lanscape like North Dakota, and the same weather. Populous cities like Billings and Great Falls are in the plains area. The scenic Rocky Mountains only make up around 30% of the state.
Third, 2:04 Badlands N.P. is in South Dakota.

Fun Fact: North Dakotan's don't care how "empty" you think it is here. We like it that way.

North Dakota Winters are harsh. Blizzards with -35 degree weather with 60 mph winds and drifting snow.
They don't cancel school for kids unless the windchill exceeds -50 °F.
There are lots of opportunities in North Dakota. Relatively low cost of living.
We came into North Dakota with a household income of $36k, and are leaving with a household income over $400k.

*hundreds n hundreds of miles nothing but corn & sunflower fields. This state has it's own charm. Bismarck is small and very clean city*

I lived in Williston, ND for 27 years but it takes a few years to get used to it. North Dakota winters are not for sissies.

I’m from the South and currently in North Dakota cause my husband works in the oil field, but I’m gonna tell you, I wouldn’t be here if not for that. The people are wonderful, and it’s beautiful country, with the cliffs of the Badlands and rolling fields, but the winter is downright nasty. I’ve never in my life felt this cold. It got down to -70° last month. We just got 5” of snow today, in March. What 😭😭😩🥶 But I will brag on how great the infrastructure is prepared for it, and the summers are amazing. So no hate on ND itself, just the unbearable cold.

People are usually motivated to move over financial issues. I'd say money is a bigger motivator than all the other factors combined. Celebrities? Give me a break.

SO much to comment on here:
- Yellowstone is TECHNICALLY located in part in Montana - nearly all of Yellowstone Park is in Wyoming, not Montana
- A large percentage of Montana shares similar/identical geography with North Dakota, so much of this list is essentially comparing western Montana to North Dakota and eastern Montana
- the big oil push in the Bakken oil region really drove North Dakota --- people working in ND had to live in eastern Montana for lack of housing
- do you really think the sky magically turns into 'BIG SKY' when you cross the border from North Dakota into Montana?
- number six is comparing population density, saying that MT has lower population density than ND, which is correct... SO WHY IS THE TITLE OF THIS VIDEO ASKING WHY NORTH DAKOTA IS VASTLY EMPTIER THAN MONTANA? That is getting the issue EXACTLY BACKWARD? (ok, I suspect it is because this was generated by AI)

A friend used to live in North Dakota. He says the only thing between North Dakota and the North Pole is a barbed wire fence.

bobseverns

Our 3 wire fence between North Dakota and the north pole should be updated to a 4 wire. That would cut down on the wind chill.😅

ive lived in North dakota for 40 years and agreed on the winters .last winter was by far the worst i can remember. it was basically a nonstop blizzard, and it was still -40 windchill in march and it snowed until may i believe. but theres a ton to love about Fargo and N.D as a whole .

They briefly mentioned the wind. Seems like it's always windy in ND. Little known fact-ND is the only state where wind socks are made of chain.

Hard places builds strong men, soft places builds weak men.

Montana 7.64 people per sq Mile. North Dakota 11.75. Good job guys. As for net population change in one year - a few thousand people is rounding error.
