Eric Erickson I thought SD would make it, but definitely not ND because of the high demand for housing due to the high paying natural gas jobs. You would be lucky to snap a house in remote areas for less than 300 k.
MN, for the most part, is a more desirable midwestern state to live in. Taxes are high and areas around the twin cities have real estate prices that are between 250k and 500 k.
The are some very desirable areas in MN that are along the Mississippi River and Lake Superior that could be expensive and have similar topography to areas around the east coast. The western part of MN, is the least expensive and looks more like the Great Plains and is no stranger to wind farms and lack of any major topography (depending on your perspective).
MT is expensive because there are high property taxes and there are multimillion dollar properties in the western part of the state that fetch Jackson Hole like prices. Millionaires, Billionaires, and Hollywood stars build mc mansions in the Rocky Mountains up there. Look up Flathead Lake or Big Sky, MT real estate and I am almost certain that finding a house for less than 500 k is almost nonexistent.
The eastern part of MT (I.e. east of Billings) is the part of the state that is the least expensive. It is more remote, dry, and looks more like the badlands. But it still may not be too inexpensive, especially if fracking takes place there resulting in higher paying jobs and lack of housing.
Sorry I was so long winded, but I just felt like writing for some reason. Now I am going to stop typing 😂.

Let me guess before I watch, and I will guess the states in not any order.
The states are: South Carolina, Iowa, Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas, West Virginia, Mississippi, Missouri, Georgia, Kentucky, and Oklahoma.
Let’s see my percentage.

It was much better in the early 90s when I lived there, about 20 miles east of Aurora off the 70. The city was more comparable to a midwestern city (Colfax in certain areas were sketchy back then) and the people in the plains that bordered the city were very nice. This was back in the day when DIA meant, “Doesn’t Include Airplanes” and Stapleton was still the predominant airport.
Probably not like that anymore, but when I flew out of DIA about 5 years to Sky Harbor, I was shocked with how developed the areas were east of Aurora from the air. Checked Zillow thereafter, and nothing was under 500000, and there were huge acreages that easily topped the 1-2 million mark. But hey, it is much less expensive than Boulder.
The city I leave near, for over a dozen years (Phoenix) definitely made the list, and rightfully so. Road rage is rampant, especially in the more affluent parts, and the less affluent parts are rampant with crime and homelessness. If you shop in many parts of Phoenix, make sure you not drink water, because public restrooms do not exist in the bad parts.

@ivearies4187 Tucson AZ is similar to what Denver was in 1993. Housing costs are less and so are taxes. The only thing is, it is getting inundated with Californians, but more so, from the bad areas near LA or San Bernardino. I am going to guess that the more educated Californians from affluent areas descended into Denver because the local economy has a higher proportion of white collar high tech careers. Tucson is also loaded with garbage all over the place along with homeless encampments. The freeway system also sucks too, but back in 1993 Denver had less freeways to choose from, but it was a painless commute to drive on the 70 to Denver from the east (25 less so). On a positive note Tucson, doesn’t get black ice and the people are a little more friendlier than Phoenix, and it feels more like a big town as opposed to a city, which Denver once was.
Phoenix is way worse than Denver IMO, and always has been. Rudeness prevails everywhere there and will inevitably make it’s way to Tucson, if it hasn’t already.
