Nobody wants to mention ND’s homogeneous population as a reason for their success. Let’s just say when there’s no illegals and no inner-city thugs you’re bound to be successful.

The vast majority of North Dakota’s population has Northern European ancestry, Scandinavian and German. In addition, many are only 2 or 3 generations removed from their pioneer ancestors on the Dakota frontier. Self sufficiency is still valued but a tradtion of helping your neighbor also prevails. Nobody in Fargo or Grand Forks sit around and waits for the government to come and save them from the blizzard or the flood. It is a good place to live and raise a familly.
