North Dakota has the 44th highest price level of the 51 states and territories the Bureau of Economic Analysis measures: 11 percent under the national average overall. The premium is concentrated in housing, at 29 percent under, while goods sit 4 percent under and services 9 percent under. That matters more than the headline number, because housing is the part a tax-free stipend is meant to cover and the rest comes out of taxed wages.

LTC/SNF pay by metro in North Dakota

MetroOpen contractsMedian weeklyRent, 1 bed
Garrison2$1,968—
Hillsboro1$1,598—

Rent is the one-bedroom Fair Market Rent HUD publishes for that metro, which is what a housing stipend is trying to cover. The open-contract count beside each metro is the sample its median rests on, and outside the largest markets that sample is small: a median over one or two contracts is a single posting's rate rather than a market rate, so read the count first.

Common questions

How much does a travel LTC/SNF nurse make in North Dakota?
The median advertised pay for a travel LTC/SNF contract in North Dakota is $1,968 a week, with the middle half of contracts between $1,783 and $1,968. Measured across 3 active travel LTC/SNF contracts in North Dakota at 2 facilities, as of 2026-09-15. These are advertised weekly totals, taxable base plus tax-free stipends, not take-home.
Where does this LTC/SNF pay figure come from?
From the travel contracts currently posted on CircleRN, not from an industry survey or an estimate. No federal source publishes pay by nursing specialty: the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports registered nurses as a single occupation, so there is no official median for an ICU or a labor and delivery nurse. We publish the median rather than the average because one crisis-rate assignment moves an average enough to misrepresent the market.
