New data from North Dakota Job Service reveals that McKenzie County is the most expensive place to live in the state, with an annual cost of $31,264. This is attributed to the county’s location in the heart of oil country. On the other hand, Cass County’s cost of living is $25,177 per year, lower than other counties like Burleigh and Grand Forks. The data only includes basic needs like food, housing, and health care and does not account for discretionary spending. It is based on a single, employed individual with no children, but can be adjusted based on working status, marital status, and number of dependents.
Despite rising costs, Cass County offers a strong job market, with opportunities in manufacturing and healthcare. North Dakota ranks 29th in cost of living among the 50 states. The data can be accessed on North Dakota’s Labor Market Information website. Overall, while living costs vary across counties in North Dakota, residents in Cass County can take advantage of job opportunities in various industries.
