This feature keeps the website active and presents the opportunity to provide some context to the data for the users’ benefit. This month's article presents a recap of the 2022 Data Highlights.

The First Highlight Of The Year.

U.S. Census Bureau’s population estimates as of July 1st, 2022 (779,261 people), show an increase of 1,327 people in North Dakota’s population compared to July 1st, 2021.  This small increase in population comes after a slight decline in the previous year. While net migration stayed negative (more people leaving than entering the state), this recovery is due to a slight increase in the number of births, a smaller number of deaths, larger international in-migration and lower domestic out-migration as compared to the previous year.
