No comparably sized North Dakota district reports a higher average than Minot 1, so this page is the state's ceiling rather than a point on the way to it. Only the state ceiling itself: among the 35 districts of comparable size, Minot 1 is paid at the very top of the state, and the state average sits well below it. South Dakota and Oklahoma are the states closest to North Dakota on BEA's price parity, which makes them the fair comparison; against a costlier state this salary goes further than its number suggests.
