Population of North Dakota

Analysis# North Dakota Population Analysis North Dakota's population of 795,534 in 2024 reflects modest recent growth of 18.28% over the past decade, yet the state ranks 47th nationally, indicating its minimal demographic scale. The state's peak growth occurred in the 1910s—a century ago—suggesting that North Dakota experienced its most dynamic expansion during the agricultural settlement era and has since settled into slower, more stable growth patterns. This trajectory demonstrates a shift from frontier-era population influx to contemporary stagnation relative to national trends, with current growth rates failing to recover the momentum of earlier decades.
