According to the latest census estimates, North Dakota gained almost 1,300 people in one year, from 4/1/2005 to 4/1/2006. It went up from 634,605 to 635,867. From 2003 to 2006, North Dakota grew by 3,247 people. This is a state that had seen decline for many years. The decline of North Dakota was known by everyone, and thought of as irreversible. Apparently the bleeding of people as a result of the Flood of '97 stopped.
North Dakota shot up to number 42 out of 50 states in 2005-2006 growth percentage. We're no longer in the bottom-5.
The only problem is that we're still 6,300 or so in the hole from the Census number.
To think, if that flood never happened, we'd probably be at over 650,000 by now.
Anyway, kudos to North Dakota!! And kudos to Governor John Hoeven and Senators Byron Dorgan and Kent Conrad. These three men have progressive visions for ND's future. It's good to see us growing again.
