North Dakota Oil Boom Immigration

There’s a big oil boom in western North Dakota. Using this interactive map from Forbes.com, I charted immigration into Williston, North Dakota for 2009 (the latest year available).

With it, you can start to see the boom starting to reach out across the country.

I can only imagine what this looks like with 2011 data … considering I have an MBA student blogging about his experiences as a wage migrant to Williston.
