North Dakota by congressional district

North Dakota broken into its seats. Click a district to open its own page, where every figure below is measured against the boundaries in force when it was published.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes no inflation rate for North Dakota: prices are collected from a sample built for the nation, the four Census regions and a handful of large metro areas, and nothing in it supports a state figure. The nearest published figure is the Midwest region's, below. See inflation for the country and the four regions.

Every figure here is one its source published for North Dakotaitself — nothing is summed from the districts. Payroll jobs and the monthly unemployment rate are seasonally adjusted, and the two newest months of the payroll series are preliminary and get revised. Output is counted where production happens and income where people live, so the two say different things about the same state. An arrow is coloured by the direction its own measure counts as improvement — green on rising output, jobs, income and exports, green on a falling unemployment rate — and stays grey where there is no such direction to claim, as for imports and the count of businesses. The colour is not a claim about anybody.

170 school districts and 51 other education agencies in the newest federal directory. Each has its own page, with its pupils, teachers, spending and child poverty.

National Center for Education Statistics, Common Core of Data; National Center for Education Statistics and US Census Bureau, public school finance surveys; US Census Bureau, Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates; National Center for Education Statistics, Digest of Education Statistics; National Center for Education Statistics, National Assessment of Educational Progress. Every figure is one its agency published for North Dakota itself, or this site’s division of two counts it published; the United States column is the same period’s figure for the fifty states and DC, and a dash means the country has none for that period because a state did not report. Only the Census poverty estimate carries a margin of error, at the 90% confidence level. Test scores are from the Nation’s Report Card, the one test given alike in every state; the share scoring Proficient is not the share working at grade level.

Spending per student is the year’s running cost of the schools — salaries, benefits, supplies, transport, food — over the pupils enrolled, without building or debt, and is not adjusted for what a dollar buys in one state against another. Students per teacher counts every teacher, including those with no class of their own, so classes are larger than it.

Latest figures

US Census Bureau, American Community Survey; CDC WONDER, National Center for Health Statistics. Margins of error are at the 90% confidence level. An estimate is not a count. Every figure here is one its source published for North Dakota itself. Nothing is averaged up from the districts, because five of these indicators are medians and the average of medians is not a median, and nothing is summed from counties. No figure here is shown as a change since anybody took office: a state has two senators who took their seats in different years, so there is no single tenure to measure from.

Who has represented North Dakota

Every senator who has held one of North Dakota’s two seats, newest first. The record carries no Senate class, so this is one chronology rather than two seat lineages — and unlike a district, a state is the same ground throughout, so there is nothing to break the list at.
