For 2012: Eight North Dakota Counties In Top 100 US Counties in Home Building: Williams and Ward Counties, #1 and #2 Nationwide, Respectively

The Bismarck Tribune is reporting, these data points:
  • nationwide, North Dakota is #1 in rate of construction of new housing units: 2.3%; nationwide: 0.3%
  • of the top 100 counties in the entire US, Williams County (Williston) is ranked #1; Ward County (Minot) is ranked #2.
Six other North Dakota counties ranked among the top 100: Burleigh (Bismarck), Cass (Fargo), Grand Forks, Morton (Mandan), Stark (Dickinson) and Ramsey (Devils Lake).

North Dakota's new housing rate of construction: almost 14% with 1,525 new units. Ward County came in at almost 5% with 1,318 new units.

This is pretty impressive: the number 2 county in entire US (Ward County in North Dakota) came in with a rate of about 5 percent. Williams County came in more than twice at almost 13%.

And "we're" still way behind on housing.
