Not your stereotypical North Dakota city
Not your typical North Dakota town. Fargo is on the Minnesota border and Cass County makes up 1/4 of the entire states population. It is the urban center and much more moderate and diverse than the rest of the state. The average age only 30.4 years old which makes it very young. It's also the economic growth engine for the state of North Dakota and is rated one of the top places to start a business. It's economy is diverse and not dependent on oil or farming. The population is growing and the metro is 250K with a ton of jobs. It is located at the intersection of 2 major interstates (I-29 and I94), is a railway hub, has one of the larger regional airports, and has giant UPS hubs. It is the regional center for medical, retail, and entertainment.
