Burke
6.9
High score (8-10)
Burke County is oil country in the northwest corner of the state, and the Williston Basin activity brought workers and money through here. Crosby, the county seat, is small but had an economic jolt from the oil boom that modernized it somewhat. Oil field counties in ND attract men from everywhere, which paradoxically means local women are used to dealing with outsiders — normalizing your presence as a newcomer.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Burke County peaked during the oil boom years and has settled into a post-boom equilibrium that's quieter. Crosby is a functional small town but the transient worker population has thinned out. You're working with maybe 2,000 people in the county total, and the social scene is predictably limited.
Lower score (below 6)
Burke County is genuinely remote even by North Dakota standards — no major highways, minimal amenities, and a shrinking population as younger people leave for Williston or Minot. Unless you're working in the oil patch, there's no reason to be here, and no social infrastructure to support meeting people outside of work contacts.
