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.

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.

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)

This is one of the most accurate, truthful assessments of North Dakota that I have ever seen. However some of your data is incorrect. North Dakota has much, much lower house prices than Montana. Just search real estate listings in several MT towns, versus several ND towns. $339,000 avg house price in ND???, nooo, maybe if this "house price" included 100acre-800acre farms. The sales tax in MT is 0. One of the facts that no one ever states, is that the people in ND are not friendly. When new people or new businesses move into ND, the local people are uncooperative in many ways. Then, the local people often turn their lack of cooperation onto each other. This is one of the main reasons why their is a net-loss of people in ND, it's hard to survive not just bc of the cold, but it's the unfriendly local people.

This assessment was an absolute joke. It was so inaccurate that it's entire premise of why ND is empty compared MT is a flat out lie if you look at population density. It was wrong about housing, plus the average income is higher in North dakota, the GDP is higher in North Dakota etc. when it comes to taking a vacation 9 times out of 10 you go to Montana, but when it comes to a more desirable place to live for your average person it's ND all the way, or Eastern MT. Western MT is rightfully bitter about getting pushed out of their communities by mega rich city people. ND is still as friendly as it gets and if you get any other impression well it was either a one-off impression or you should probably take a look in the mirror.
