The REAL Reason North Dakota Has the Least Population!

North Dakota, a state of sprawling prairies, endless skies, and rich cultural history. But despite its beauty and resources, North Dakota has the smallest population among the West North Central States. Why? Well, that's what we're here to explore today.
The West North Central region includes seven states: North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota, Iowa, and Missouri. The Mississippi River marks most of the border between the two divisions. It has population of over 21.6 millions. Iowa is a state that has the most population of 3.19 millions. While these states share agricultural roots and a Midwest identity, their populations vary significantly.
North Dakota's population hovers around 770,000, far less than its neighbors. Between 1930 and 1950, North Dakota’s population growth slowed. The Dust Bowl, economic struggles, and mechanization in agriculture led many families to leave the state in search of better opportunities. So, why does the Peace Garden State struggle to attract and retain residents? Let's break it down.
First, geography plays a big role. North Dakota is located in the Upper Midwest region of the United States. It is located in the center of North America and borders Canada to the north. The geographic center of North America is near the city of Rugby. Bismarck is the capital of North Dakota, and Fargo is the most populous city.
