2020 CENSUS - POPULATION CHANGE SUMMARY

On August 12, 2021, the United States Census Bureau released the results of the 2020 Census. The data

indicated North Dakota experienced the fourth largest percentage increase in population nationwide with a

population increase of 15.8 percent over the state's 2010 population. The state also is home to the county with the

largest population increase in the nation with McKenzie County increasing in population by 131 percent over the

county's 2010 population. However, in regard to rural counties, North Dakota's population trends tracked with the

nationwide trend of less populous counties further losing population. This memorandum provides a summary of the

change in the population of North Dakota's legislative districts, counties, and cities when comparing the results of

the 2010 Census to the results of the 2020 Census.

LEGISLATIVE DISTRICTS

When comparing the 2010 Census results to the 2020 Census results, the five legislative districts with the largest

percentage increase in population are Districts 2, 27, 16, 7, and 39; with a population increase of 102 percent,

94 percent, 81 percent, 61 percent, and 54 percent, respectively. The five legislative districts with the largest

percentage decrease in population are Districts 9, 42, 23, 10, and 14; with a population decrease of 13 percent,

9 percent, 7 percent, 6 percent, and 6 percent, respectively. The following table summarizes the population change

in legislative districts when comparing the 2010 Census results to the 2020 Census results, including the resulting

deviation from the newly calculated ideal district size of 16,576 when using 47 legislative districts. The attached

appendix provides a visual representation of the percentage deviation from the ideal district size in each legislative

district.
