we've all heard Idaho and Texas complain about Californians move into their state raising the
price of real estate voting for Liberal policies and ruining their state one thing
most those complainers forget is those horrible people from California and other states bring
jobs pay taxes and put money into the local economy well that's not just happening in
Texas and Idaho other states like South Dakota are getting some of that California action
these days too South Dakota's population Grew From 896 000 in July of 2021 to 909
000 in July of 2022 that's according to the U.S Census Bureau birth and death rates were almost
even so 97 of that growth was Interstate migration that's about 14 000 adults who
moved to the Mount Rushmore State and did things like have their own opinion pay taxes and some
purchased real estate oh the humanity today we're looking at what percentage of that 14
000 came from which states into South Dakota got it get it good let's take a look
number 10 Montana Montana has no problem keeping its people in the state and that's
probably why only a few people move to South Dakota the state right next door
Montana is really not a crowded State they only have a little over a million residents
thing is when people move there or were lucky enough to be born there they tend
not to leave they have only had one census where they actually lost people and that
was during the Hoover administration just so you don't have to Google it that was
the 1930s but the number one reason given for moving from Montana to South Dakota was work
only two percent of the people that moved to South Dakota in 2022 were from Montana
number nine Nebraska this one totally makes sense especially if you've ever
spent any time in Nebraska the entirety of Nebraska's northern border is South Dakota
could be an argument that part of Iowa is part of the northern border too but not much I mean
Sioux Falls Iowa is right there where the three states meet Iowa Nebraska and South Dakota and
that's got a little bit of the northern border and stop typing it's actually Sioux City Sioux
Falls is north of Sioux City but Sioux City is where the three states meet how many of
you did I get just right got me in the comment section what's really neat about this part of
the country Sioux Falls is actually where three states meet Iowa South Dakota and Minnesota I
don't know why that's always interests me when states meet like three of them or four of them
there's only one place that four meet but it's interesting the United States map is an
amazing thing to study anyway people moving from Nebraska to South Dakota say they're moving for
work another two percent of the interstate movers two South Dakota came from Nebraska
number eight Washington State this one was a little surprising in the beginning most the
people leaving Washington go to Idaho Montana and Wyoming South Dakota is actually ranked
12th on States Washington residents moved to so not a lot moved there but when they do move
there they're moving for retirement it is a lot cheaper to live in South Dakota than Washington
state three percent of the interstate movers to South Dakota came from Washington State in 2022.
number seven Wyoming Wyoming and Montana are about the same thing even though Wyoming has
a lot fewer people than Montana they have 576 000 residents that's in 2020. and they're the
10th largest state that makes them 49th when it comes to population density Alaska is just one
person for every square mile I think Wyoming's a little higher with 5.9 residents for every
square mile the cowboy state also shares a border with South Dakota on the east side
takes up about half of their eastern border and I'm sure Wyoming would take up more of
the interstate migration pie if they had more people they just don't the number one reason
people moved from Wyoming to South Dakota was parole or restraining order I'm just kidding it
was work Wyoming accounted for four percent of the people that moved to South Dakota in 2022
number six Illinois I'm sure the people from South Dakota didn't want to hear this because whenever
you think Illinois you think Chicago and when you think of Chicago you think someone's gonna
get killed at least that's what you think if you watch too much cable news but the main
reason given for people from Illinois to move to South Dakota was cost of living I imagine
most the people that said that are coming from Chicago because Chicago is extremely
expensive Illinois made up six percent of the people moving to South Dakota in 2022.
number five North Dakota this should be no surprise for a few reasons number one they're
right next to each other North Dakota is obviously north of South Dakota it'd be kind of weird if it
was south of South Dakota maybe do it if you're trying to trick people into not showing up kind
of like that whole Iceland Greenland thing the second reason people moving from North Dakota
to South Dakota should be no surprises have you ever been to North Dakota spend a week there I
guarantee more than once you'll think God I hope it's better in South Dakota good news it is and
that's what people listed is why they moved to South Dakota from North Dakota jobs now if the
oil fields are going strong in North Dakota it's a total different story they can't get
enough workers into that state but most the time and especially lately they're moving out of state
to get jobs North Dakota supplied seven percent of the interstate movers to South Dakota in 2022.
number four Iowa again this shouldn't be much of a surprise it's right next to South Dakota
I was really boring South Dakota's just sort of boring the number one reason people from
Iowa do move to South Dakota is real estate realtors in South Dakota have
seen a steady influx of people seeking more affordable housing since the pandemic ended
and a lot of them are heading to South Dakota the real estate prices are really similar but
the cities is where there's a change real estate in towns and cities seem to be a little cheaper
in South Dakota Iowa supplied nine percent of the interstate movers to South Dakota in 2022.
number three Colorado Colorado isn't too far away from South Dakota but in my experience
I've found them to be very similar States at least the way the people are not sure why I
always get that feeling I've been to Colorado a lot more than South Dakota it's weird it's just
my experience the number one reason people from Colorado are heading to South Dakota is the cost
of living it is much cheaper in South Dakota than Colorado the Centennial state is expensive
it's kind of strange for a state that's in the middle of the country to be this expensive but
it is in housing and just every day cost of living that's why people are heading to South
Dakota Colorado supplied 11 percent of the interstate movers to South Dakota in 2022
number two Minnesota even though South Dakota's right next to the land of ten thousand lakes
these are really different states I mean their Landscapes are very different until you get to
Winter then everything freezes and it seems the same and yes if you're not from the United States
or don't know about this part of the country it gets terribly cold in the winters one lady
said it's so cold in Minnesota you want a chubby spouse to cut down on your heating
bill but the real reason people are moving from Minnesota to South Dakota is the cost
of living yeah it's a lot cheaper in South Dakota compared to Minnesota also Minnesota
supplied 19 percent of the interstate movers to South Dakota in 2022. all right before we get to
number one don't forget we have another Channel called on this day there is a link for that in
the description area below go on over there subscribe watch some videos all the profits
for that go to schools we donate to classrooms across the country all right on to number one
and number one California if you're in South Dakota right now you probably already know this
you've seen the license plates going around Fargo you know Californians have made their way to South
Dakota this isn't new it's just picked up steam there is many reasons Californians moved South
Dakota and most of them have to do with personal finances get a cheaper House in South Dakota like
much much cheaper let me just kind of give you an idea if you go to the typical Blue Collar
neighborhood in I don't know Los Angeles you'd be lucky to find a home for under 750 000 in South
Dakota it's hard to find homes over 750 000 that don't come with a couple acres California supplied
33 percent of the interstate movers to South Dakota in 2022. congratulations South Dakota
you now got that California ax to grind too all right that's today's video hope you guys enjoyed
it hope you got some information of it now go out have a great day and be nice to each other
