The state with the 50 below winters, snow from October- April, and no pro sports teams, is the one the rest of the country is envious of!! In North Dakota we tend to stay close to home with majority never moving out of the county they were born in and being conservative with our money. Which in return has allowed us to be known as a low crime, low unemployment rate, stable housing market state!
With farming being our bread and butter, or more so pasta and flaxseed, we are the country's number one producer of durum wheat. Then there is the oil, production is up 43% which is triple the rate from 5 years ago. So forget being the state of cold winters... we are the state of Wheat and Oil!
Why ND is where it is at:
1. Unemployement LOWEST in 50 states
2. 2010 Best Job Growth in 50 states
3. Low crime rate, 60 % lower than national average
4. Lowest credit card default - WE spend within our means!
5. Stable Housing Market!!
Known for our snow maybe blocks our path to being underwater. Nation wide 1 in 4 home owners are underwater. In North Dakota our equity is keeping us snowboarding along. So next time you visit another state and someone comments on how do you live in ND, you can proudly say why!
