Notes:

In this table, the most recent data uses metropolitan and micropolitan boundary delineations issued by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in September 2018. Data for the year 2000 refer to one of the prior OMB boundary delineations. Compared to 2000, the September 2018 revision resulted in boundary changes for the Bismarck metropolitan area (gained one county).

* Figures for individuals below the poverty level, median household income, and households paying 30% or more of their income for housing were collected from the 2000 decennial census, which asked about income during 1999. Elsewhere on the Compass site these figures are reported as 1999 data, but they are listed here in the 2000 column for comparison purposes.

"N/A" indicates that data are unavailable, an estimate is unreliable, or data are suppressed because too few cases were recorded in the time period.
