- Did you know that the population of South Dakota is less than 900,000? This makes it the sixth least populated state in the entire US! And with a population density of just 12 people per square mile you might begin to wonder, why do so few people live here? Well, today on Across the Globe we’re going to look at the reasons why nobody lives in South Dakota.

Have You Ever Been To South Dakota?
Yes and loved it
I live here now from Cali
@@RAGClips Do you like it? Quite a bit different from Cali!
@@Acrosstheglobechannel I do like South Dakota better based on living quality but I do miss me some good ole Mexican food lol
You obviously never have been...
My parents and I found ourselves in Spearfish one evening on our way to Minnesota in 1954 . Dad stopped at a gas station to ask where we could find a hotel or Inn to spend the night . A man got up and came to our car and told us there weren’t any rooms in town but we could follow him home and put us up there ! In the morning his wife fixed us breakfast and the family refused to take any money for their hospitality! I’m 76 now but never forgot that !
In the Horror movies no one makes it after following someone to their home to stay the night . or they wake up without a liver or kidneys ! yea I watch to much TV , well used to gave it up 4 year ago, politics was getting the best of me, and I do mean the best of me , bad a man have chest pains just watching the news so now I say to hell with all of them im done with it . and havent had no chest pains. it was 6 months later before I knew Biden was President thats how far I pushed them out of my life. when local elections start I put sign in driveway that says go to next house and tell them your lies ,and they do .now im just a hillbilly that dont give a damn for nothing except my cat , pretty much sums it up for me
With less people, they probably have less crime due to the lack of places for agitators like BLM, Antifa & butt holes to get their 15 min. of fame.
That’s South Dakota nice.
these days you wouldnt be alive to tell us.
80% of your negatives are positives for me.
I think this TH-camr was paid by the South Dakota Economic Development Dept. by using reverse psychology.
Sounds like somebody is moving
@@richardbigouette3651me to. 😊
@richardbigouette3651 my wife and I have been contemplating it for years now! We are torn because we have 3 kids and we currently live very close to both of our families
So you want to live in a place with lesser people, fine.
But, you think the following are positives?: bad food, little job opportunity, house having risk of getting ripped up by tornadoes, both extreme cold and warmth, drunken kids driving around and dying, people being stupid gambling addicts, racist and non-welcoming?
South Dakota actually sounds like a nice place to live/explore
No major league sports and no large cities sounds good to me 👍
Yeah, but having bad food is unforgivable.
No thank you.
@@danwelterweight4137 cook your own💁♂️🫡
@@danwelterweight4137 That's why I'm really glad my wife is a heck of a cook.
Ode to Food and Drinks, Parkers Bistro, Chef Lance's on Phillips, Mirabella Ristorante, R Wine Bar.... that's just downtown Sioux Falls. ❤❤❤❤
Sioux Falls? It’s more populated than Fargo, and I don’t live there, not biased. The State Sucks in my opinion
As a LIFE LONG resident, I can say we don't want people like the one who made this video here.
Keep the riff raff away, and keep it FREE HERE!!
Hello . I’m from Hawaii . Lived in Texas and Colorado a while driving trucks .
I can’t stand Hawaii any more .
Way gone expensive and ran by a political machine that’s crooked .
Plus I want to drive semis again and I’m a loner / hermit most of the time .
So I’m selling my house in Hawaii to move , possible S.D. So I’m looking .
Me and my 1 yr old dog . And I’m 65 .
😂 . And I feel fine . I feel like hiting the pavement again and go back to work in America . I’m checking out S.D. More affordable . I liked the Rockies . God bless .
Oh and as for politics, liberals don't let the door hit ya on your way out... that's a huge positive 👏
Maybe that's why south Dakota is so forgotten in the US.
@@chrisnotpratt1903only forgotten by those they don't want to have it remembered by anyway. No loss there...
This is obviously produced by someone from a big city who values things many folks in South Dakota don't. Just because you like sports teams, weird big city food and other urban "amenities" doesn't mean everyone does. Talk about being judgemental! Yes I've been to South Dakota, and I loved it. Try and catch large trout or see beautiful scenery in NYC or LA, ain't gonna happen.
He forgot the Bad Lands.
No homeless much.
I spent most of my life living and working in Chicago and the metro area. I loved the food while there and was a rabid sports fan of all its teams. I was born and raised in Sioux Falls and moved back here 9 years ago. I spent most of my life in dome of the biggest cities and think Sioux Falls the best. Not too small and not big at all, even though it’s growing like gang busters. The food here is good enough for me with plenty of fine restaurants. I don’t miss the professional teams in Chicago but still feel an allegiance for them. One thing about Chicago and Illinois is it’s corruption. It’s the worst kind that destroys everything. It’s one reason I left and glad I don’t live there anymore.
Everything you list as a disadvantage are the very reason I would call it a good place to call home!!
You should move there
Yeah, seems like last place to avoid yuppies and damn fools!
The bugs aren't bad if you don't live on a farm lol
After watching this I didn't see any negatives and with the politics the way they are there I wouldn't have to worry about them going after my 2A rights
Amen, just curious about one thing, are there Grizzley bears? we dont get along at all thats why i live east coast but not far enough east that ill be a great whites dinner either, 48 years old and never seen the ocean , yea im from Kentucky lol
I was just on a 8 day road trip and spent 2 days in SD, and the best meal we eat was in SD. and the roads where good, example a normal 2 lane road in my home state, was a nice 4 lane road with hardly any traffic in SD and on I-90 we stopped at the cleanest and nicest restroom ive ever been to. And I forgot, gas pices wore almost $1.50 less per gallon then my home state. Now that said, I rather live somewhere warmier in the Winter months. And Menards also have stores in SD.
900,000 that is not a small number it's just right
I think I want to live there based on this video keep urban trash away
And it's also a way to keep sh*t for brains Bubbas isolated. It's a win/win.
@@efandmk3382at least the bubbas know what gender they are..
Amen !@@codystrom8708
I'll take Bubba over Raheem any day !@@efandmk3382
I like the no major league sports teams aspect.
Me too !
The license age is because of farmers and the need to operate equipment and vehicles
This state still sounds like a winner. More open space, scenery, and quiet. Plus one less conflict with the people living there. Sports teams. Especially if you lived in both Minnesota and Wisconsin like I have.
It's a great state; tons to see, and a lot of history.
I feel like these kinds of pros and cons lists on smaller areas are all written by insufferable extroverts who think everyone thinks like them. No loud and dirty urban centers? No messy night life? Super empty and quiet? These are all huge pros to me. The biggest pro of all is that the loud extroverts don't wanna go there.
as a person who lived in SD for years..... my part of SD had no tornadoes
Ive only seen two small tornadoes up in the far northeastern part. Lived here 40 years myself.
Not to mention, there's hardly any land for sale in SD. over 80% of the land is owned by cattle ranchers who own thousands of acres per ranch. Unless they're selling, there's not much to buy.
Strange, relocating from Texas to South Dakota I found plenty of 5+ acre lots. Are you poor? If you have the cash, land seems to be plentiful.
@@ian2372 Yea, poor me. Thanks for telling me something I didn't know. Most of the land is still owned by Ranchers.
@@ian2372 South dakotans ARE poor compared to people from other states. That's why you can buy here but we cant.
Actually the majority of South Dakota's ranch and farm land is owned by two different entities: Bill Gates and the Chinese Communist party in that order. And by a fairly wide margin as well. Sad.
You're not looking very hard if you think it's all farm and ranch land. The only set back right now is the market. Prices are 5 times higher than normal.
In South Dakota, when you gets asked "Who's your favorite Basketball team" by your relatives who live in another state, you answer "The Ethan Girls are looking to be really good again this year... and on the boys side I'll still be going to most of the Kernels games", because you watch the local kids play, buy their merchandise, and the best part is when you are at the games you run into everyone else! :) Winters are cold... stay inside and enjoy the games!
This video is off like a mug. SD cuisine is known for Buffalo Burgers. They have the best meat ever! Also no state sales tax!
I'm surprised you used the term mug, I'm a black man that grew up in Chicago and that was a term we used back in the day. Lol.
We do have sales tax but no state income tax
I wonder if you would be willing to come here face to face and make these statements that you are making in this video to us people that actually live in South Dakota?
I'll do it for him. SD native and have lived here for 35 years. Everything in this video is 100% accurate.
Lived here my whole life and there's not a single lie in this video.
Moved to SD from heavily populated NC. I live in the Pierre area. No problem finding a good job. The people are some of the finest, friendliest ones anyone could ever hope to meet. Roads where I live are fine. When it snows, our roads are cleared quickly, and I haven't seen a tornado yet. We have fantastic water recreational opportunities with our gorgeous lakes and rivers. Been here 2 years, and I love it! It's peaceful here with a stark beauty I never tire of looking at. Don't hesitate to visit or to come live here. If you haven't done it yet, you're missing out!
@@marjoriesisco4358 Pierre is a hidden gem.
@marjoriesisco4358 I'm glad it's working out for you. Unless I was having bad luck on my side. I was catching dozens of vehicles go off the road on a sunny day on Interstate 40. Even literally next to me while driving. Yes, they had those state plates on them. It's not like I'm gonna go up to their vehicle after if went off the road to see if they were born in North Carolina or moved there. Or as an honorable mention, I didn't expect to take over 3 hours to get through Asheville during rush hour.
I love living in South Dakota because it’s fun to explore and it has a lot of history
I live in North Dakota and this video is total BS. If you're from the "Big City" then you will likely not be able to adapt to a rural state like the Dakotas, Wyoming or Montana. Life moves at a different pace here. There are things to do, places to visit, friendly residents, much less major crime, jobs if you want to "work" and good food. Come here with an open mind and a willingness to try something different. We have to do that when we go to your states!
South Dakota is an awesome state! The west side of the state is absolutely beautiful! Small population is a great feature!!
This is the most outstanding collection of stock video clips I have ever seen. There's a clip for everything! People hating food. People addicted to gambling. AMAZING
😎😎
Bro this is the corniest shit I’ve probably ever seen. We have a ton of diverse restaurants here in South Dakota.
You just think that because you’re a country boy
@@hydrated9291 I’ve lived in the city most my life and just moved here
@@Johnvukmer11111 there are no real “ cities”in South Dakota what y’all call a city is just a big place to country folk , move to somewhere with more than a million people and you will see what a diverse food scene actually is.
Lmao you prob consider having Taco Bell and panda express “ton of diverse restaurants”
I was born and raised in SD and finally moved back to the Black Hills area about seven years ago. I absolutely love it. Low amount of people, great fishing, hiking, and camping, and 2A rights. Plus, no state tax. My wife is from North Carolina and i think she likes it here in SD more than I do.
The case he’s trying to make sounds like great reasons to move to SD. Plus no state income tax!
Dad was from Bridgewater and mom from Parkson...only went back for family reunions and hunting.
9 min. If you ain't conservative, don't let the door hit you on the way out.
went on vacation to SD a few years ago with my kids and absolutely loved it. Now bringing my gf next week for a week and cant wait. I would move here in a heartbeat. I am a conservative living in the lib cesspool of NJ.
SD is one of the most beautiful states on the country. Their roads, bugs, weather, etc., isn't much worse than the east coast, aside from the tornados. If not for probably not being able to find a job in the Financial sector, i would move here so quick.
dam! that was an insightful video
The political part is interesting. Libs are leaving because of the conservatives. Just saw a similar video on Colorado (World According to Briggs) that showed conservatives are leaving that state due to too many libs.
Very interesting time we're in right now
@@Acrosstheglobechannel To say the least!
A large majority of registered liberals in SD are college students and young adults who don't vote because they aren't home and stuff so it makes sense kind of
Colorado doesn't like peoples 2A rights and some city's are so loony that the cops will stop you to see if you are drinking a soda or whatever and you can be ticketed for smoking a cigarette in public
All the reasons you listed for not living in South Dakota are exactly the reasons I would move there in a skinny minute. But, the wife......well you know. We just spent 4 days in Rapid City, and had a great time. Tons to see, with really nice folks to help if needed. All of the studies you spoke of, and of course your opinions are all just just that, opinions. And we know what they say about opinions. And bad roads, shit South Dakota doesn't have the market on those. Just take a long multi-state road trip, and you will see for yourself.
Two different states in one: East is Minnesota-like West is part of the cultural West, more in common with Colorado, Wyoming, Montana.
Thank you for your review!
FINALLY I HAVE THE STATE IN U.S. FOUND THAT MEET MY EXPECTATIONS!!!
I hope that the gun law allows you to keep the crap people from other states out !!
Sounds like paradise
I’m glad this guy made this video because you don’t have to move to sd we already have enough fun you guys have yours we have yours and everything you named is positives for us
The Food is not bad!!!!
I was pleasantly surprised to see my snow drone shots while watching this
Only one costco in sioux falls
This sounds like my kind of place!
No one comes out their house,except to drive 5 mins.away.lol.its like a ghost city..
Thats just because the closest casino and liquor store is only 5 mins away. Its sad we have to travel farther for groceries than gambling.
i don’t i only drive a short drive of 100 miles to peirre to shop and only have to drive 17 to gamble
Most US cities, except the very big ones, look like "ghost' cities!
This video might actually attract more people into moving there, I would....or was that the whole motive of this clip???
Absolutely everything you mentioned is the reason I’d move to South Dakota but I already live in South Dakota, the more people I can stay away from the better!
When it comes to food you must be from the city. In South Dakota if you want good food you go hunting. Like with a rifle, shot gun or bow. Then you cook it yourself. Mule Deer, White tail deer, Antelope, Turkey, Pheasant, Quail, Ducks, Dove, Rabbit, if you are real lucky Bison and Moutain Goat. Bow season, Shot Gun season, and Rifle season, so you can hunt year around. Who wants to eat beef, pork or chicken in South Dakota?
Hunters are killers of nature.
@@internetcensure5849that seems very obvious. What else are they going to kill, the unnatural? I think you win the dumbest statement of the day award.
@@internetcensure5849 Hunters started the conservation movement. You don't care about nature if you don't use it.
Just exactly WHERE do you think the food in the grocery store comes from? Without hunting , wildlife grows out of control and they die off from not enough food. You have no clue as to what you are talking about and please, do stay out of South Dakota, we do not need fairy tree hugging panzy girlboys here. Yes WE KNOW what a woman is...
If only more states were like this.
I used to live in South Dakota, now I’m back in the city, I actually miss it sometimes
South Dakota? is Pretty but like stepping back in time
How did you learn all of this?
7 minutes in and I gotta say- YGBSM. Is this your analysis for real?
I live in one of the smallest towns in south Dakota
What is it like over there?
My mom was raised in Seneca like pop 10 now lol
Very dramatic. Can't wait to move there!!!
Hope you love it 🙌
It's a good place and the bugs are only bad if you live on a farm
Nah stay out
I grew up in Sioux Falls in the 50s and early 60s. I thought it was paradise. Plus, Black Hills was a blast. This video is interesting but makes the state look like a living hell. Been living in Illinois ever since 63.
It's funny that all the reasons you say not to live here were all the plusses that drew my wife and I here. But please keep promoting how horrible it is so it doesn't turn into the place we moved from. Thank you
Born and raised here. I'm 24 and have never seen a tornado.
Same, lived all my life here (15 years) not one tornado
I grew up in South Dakota and have never heard of chislic
same here but buffalo burgers, phesant, a great steak .... oh mannnn yummy
Maybe you should do an update. Souix Falls just passed 300,000 and it’s the fastest growing city in the Midwest. Restaurants do suck
Glad you put this out there so maybe it'll keep the riff raff away.
The crappy roads and extreme politics are directly related. I never left anything in S.D. I needed to go back for!
SF has extreme "liberal" politics, yet has crappy cities! So, both are related too.
don't move here if you can take the heat from the kitchen.
It’s a great place to live! It’s not everyone,but unless you have lived here for a few years , you have no idea what your talking about !
Bro you have clearly never driven in south dakota, because the important roads are in amazing shape. Cant say the same for our next door states
This is the "South Dakota Promotional Video"
I’ve been there. It’s awesome. But the winter is the problem
I like that our state has younger age for driving permit because gives them the experience early n longer on top of can help them w getting a cdl sooner
Local bison, pheasant, and walleye. Nobody eats those last 2 pastries. But as we say "if you're not from SoDak, you don't know that."
Bruh everyone I know that can have a job has like there dream job
Pardon me. I live there. My family lives there. My extended family lives there. It's a great place to raise a family and l don't want you all to move here anyway.
SD is the best kept secret around. Aside from the very cold winters, it is perfect.
And South Dakota is the safest place to live on earth we are lucky. We never have to worry about bombs and crap.
I’m planing to move their , bcz collage is cheaper , but the bugs thing got me
I LOVE NUMBER NINE and I can tell you are a Keven LOL
I lived in south Dacota for.3 years. If you spend a winter there you better get a block heater if you plan to start your car.. I found the thunderstorms one of the most interesting experiences. The black hills are okay during the summer that's about it.
Winters definitely get very cold there
Im from South Dakota and your facts are way off
Can you please list some positives?
Hooray I’m part of the less than 900,000 population
We have 16 tornadoes a day here in Kansas.
i live in south dakota :)
I love South Dakota for all the reasons you brought up lol. Btw, I live in Alabama.
I love wide open spaces, less people suits me just fine and i hate sports.
Thank you for making such a negative review of South Dakota. It helps to keep away all the riff raff that has been relocating here from California and New York lately. We are quite happy to remain America's best kept secret.
Pick a Dakota, you won't regret it. Been out here 32 years and love it.
I live in South Dakota and their is more then 12 people per square mile
I use to hunt pheasants in SD. I loved it. Nicest people in the world until I discovered North Dakota. They are absolutely
the best. Also, you have to try the beef steak when you are in the dakotas.
Those meat cubes look tasty!
Literally it’s not that bad living here. 🤷🏻♀️ like we don’t have a cuisine? Cool? Nobody cares. 🙄 like everything in this video just doesn’t matter. SD is a nice place to live regardless.
Its still a nice state, these are just the reasons we found why it might appeal less to some
If you're a selfish moron who only wears the label of Christian instead of acting like one and you don't mind freezing and sweating along with the smell, sure. For someone brain dead and without any physical senses, its a great place for a coma.

Moving back soon....
I was looking for nobody.... now I know where he lives.
Greetings from South Dakota!
Cooooold....
What'd this guy drive through once and make a video??
No concerts sports teams fancy overpriced restaurants. This is a plus. Your list is obviously done by someone who has never experienced the real South Dakota.
Raise the age limit to getting a driver's license form 14 to 18
I’m moving from Chicago lol the money was right 🙏🏽
For nobody living here there sure are a lot of us 🙄... this is not accurate
10 Reasons why you should move to South Dakota if you are Conservative Entrepreneur. 1. Great for retirement or people that want a slow life style. 2. Great opportunity to start a restaurant if you are a chef and an entrepreneur. 3. There are no jobs so its a great place for a digital nomad 4. If you are a digital nomad you can spend your summers where you want. Rent your house or apartment on Airbnb. 5. Get a pick up truck. 6. Spend your winters in Florida. This is what Canadians do. 7. Learn defensive driving skills. Don't go out late at night. 8. Open up a Casino and profit from their gambling addiction. 9. If you are not a conservative Republican live somewhere else. 10. Find what repels the bugs and spray your home or wear the scent on you so the bugs leave you alone.
I mean as a man that lives in south dakota... you're right
My Daughter is moving to Watertown in a few months, it looks like a nice area, as long as you don't live near flood areas. Geez, if you want excitement live someplace else, but if you don't want the heavy excitement of big city/suburban area, this could be a great place. I personally wouldn't move there because of the snow, had enough of that nonsense.
Watertown is actually very nice. Close to Brookings (college town and good concert venue), Lake Madison, and relatively close to sioux Falls.
Just she must be very cautious driving I29 and
in the winter, especially.
@@beancounter7197 , Thank you!
I live in Watertown. It's a great place to raise your children. Low crime rate. And people help others.
No traffic, liberal politics, or overcrowded sports and music venues. They even let you shoot guns on public land 😮😮😮 SD is so horrible and scary!!
