While North Dakota is one of the least-populated states in the country, that just means that you’ll get to keep all of the beauty to yourself upon moving there. Aside from its beauty, there are various reasons that you should move to North Dakota.
Among the first of our top reasons for moving to North Dakota is the fact that it is an incredibly tax-friendly state.

When tax season comes around, you will find that you don’t have to dig too far into your pockets if you live in the Peace Garden State. With a local and sales tax average of 6.78 percent and income taxes dropping steadily year by year, you can definitely expect North Dakota to remain a tax-friendly place to live.
Another reason that you should consider moving to North Dakota involves the fact that it has a high quality of life. In fact, on a recent ranking from the U.S. News and World Report of the best states, North Dakota was ranked 15th. This makes perfect sense when you consider everything the state has to offer.

Popular Towns to Visit in North Dakota
Now that you know more about North Dakota as a whole, it’s time to learn a bit more about one of the most popular towns to visit and live in the state. Today, we’ll be talking about what is the biggest town in North Dakota, Fargo.
Fargo has a population of 124,844 people as of 2018’s estimates and is easily one of the best places to live in the state of North Dakota. As the economic center of Southeast North Dakota, Fargo has much to offer residents from a strong economy and overall low cost of living to an abundance of cultural and outdoor activities to enjoy. It is also home to North Dakota State University and Sanford Health, which is located on the banks of the Red River, is considered a hub for education and healthcare.
One of the biggest reasons that Fargo is such a popular place to live in North Dakota is that the city ranked No. 1 on Forbes ranking of Small Places for Business and Careers back in 2014. Since that time, Fargo has seen a modest increase in job growth as well as a low unemployment rate. The city also ranks highly on both the housing and affordability scale and boasts a pretty strong median income of $46,617. Further, the city is known for having a fairly low median home price of $168,600.
Another great reason to consider moving to Fargo is the fact that the city is considered by many to be a hub of higher education. Fargo’s educated population is just one of the many reasons businesses choose to relocate to Fargo. More than half of Fargo’s population has completed at least some college, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. There are a number of colleges and universities to choose from in Fargo including North Dakota State University and North Dakota State College of Science.
Finally, another reason that Fargo is such a popular place to live is that it is home to a top-notch healthcare system. Cass County ranks second in clinical care access and third in health behaviors data, with a relatively low level of both smoking and obesity. Additionally, Sanford Health, the largest, rural, not-for-profit health-care system in the United States, is Fargo’s largest employer.
Some of the most popular neighborhoods to live in Fargo include Downtown, Amber Valley, Willow Park, Southpointe, and Prairiewood.
