How Fargo-Moorhead Compares
Aside from high-speed internet, lots to do and plenty of food and shopping, you might want to know a little more about our ever-growing community.
In 2021, Fargo-Moorhead’s population was 252,693. The regional population is expected to increase by 7.6% between 2021 – 2026 to reach 271,839. (EMSI Burning Glass)
We’re of the mindset that you’re only as old as you feel, but if we’re talking numbers, our population also tends to be on the younger side. Our median age is 32.5, compared to a national average of 38.5 making us a comparatively young community. That means we are a metro full of ideas, coffee shops and college hangouts. That all blends with our rich and diverse arts and culture. We’re a lot more, you might say, “unexpected” than you might first think.
