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. Slope County ranks 31st in the state for the total number of acres of land currently advertised for sale. Of all farms and ranches for sale in Slope County, Amidon featured the most land for sale. Agriculture and farming drives the Slope County economy, with 221 farms recorded in the county during the U.S. Census in 2012. Farming activities in Slope County generate annual revenues of $4 million, most of which is from crops. Slope County is North Dakota's 26th biggest county (1,219 square miles). It's located in the West North Dakota region of the state.
