Slope County, North Dakota Land Market Insights and Pricing

Set in southwestern North Dakota, Slope County is as far from civilization as pretty much anywhere in the lower 48—which goes a long way to demonstrating why it registered the fewest inhabitants (727) than any other county in North Dakota during the last U.S. Census count. Remarkably, the county is the size of Rhode Island, but while some 175,000 Rhode Islanders live in the state capital, Providence, less than three dozen can call the Slope County Seat, Amidon, home. In fact, Amidon is so small that Rand McNally doesn't index it in their U.S. road atlas.
