Enjoying checking out different metro areas on this map
Curious as to why there is a lone dark purple around Sioux Falls, SD. Didn't realize that would be such a hot new area to move to.
Also a similar question for Las Vegas. While fun, I would NEVER want to live there.
I was born and raised in SD and still have tons of family there, especially Sioux Falls. I lived in SF while getting my degree.
Historically, South Dakota has no income or corporate taxes and in the 80s they deregulated a ton of banking laws so many of the largest banks in the country moved various operations and headquarters to Sioux Falls. (eg Citi & Wells Fargo).The 2 hospital systems (Avera and Sanford) have also grown to become massive entities with world class facilities. I believe Sanford is one of the largest non-profit healthcare facilities in the country. Also, being in the heart of agriculture country, there’s a ton of supporting industry here too.
Sioux Falls also has 2 private 4 year universities and both the University of South Dakota and South Dakota State are under 45 minutes away and in small towns so there’s a lot of educated people that move to SF that also has tons of jobs. My school has a great nursing program and every nursing graduate basically has a job guaranteed at one of the 2 hospitals directly out of school.
In the 80s the population was around 80k, but now SF is at 200k and the surrounding towns have also been gobbled up so the entire “SF metro” is over 250k and probably pushing 300k. Basically, SF and the surrounding communities have nearly quadrupled in 35 years.
They’ve also had an impressive philanthropic impact over the last 20 years that’s allowed SF to build a new arena, revitalize their downtown, build a huge sports complex, etc. They’ve been extremely successful at wooing lots of big events (NCAA championship events, summit league events, arena football, minor league hockey, senior pga tour, big name country music concerts).
I'm an environmental engineer and today I started using Esri's Survey123 for an upcoming field data collection effort. Excited to see how we can leverage GIS while in the field instead of retroactively inputting data and trying to associate with a location

We started using Survey123 seriously about 3 years ago, my main task has been deploying and maintaining data from field crews across the US.

If you have any questions hit me up!
Thank you! I may take you up on that, but have to figure out what I don't know first 🤣 I appreciate it
stlallison and actually looking at that map more carefully, the darkest county in SD is actually the county below Sioux Falls. Sioux Falls in Minnehaha County has basically expanded so much to the south into the next county, Lincoln, that the main city in Lincoln County, Harrisburg, has grown from like 700 people to 7000 in 20 years and shows no signs of slowing.
When I was young, you could drive out of SF to the south and you’d drive through corn fields for a few miles until you’d get to Harrisburg. Now, much of that land has been developed and it’s all blurred together.

has rural sd undergone the same diversification that sw minnesota (specifically worthington) has seen?
crazy that worthington is only 30% white now. Been watching a couple guys bike live stream their bike across the u.s. and in multiple rural sd towns there were people that came up to them who didnt speak english or spanish. i've only spent time on the lake traverse rez in sd but watching that storm and sunset a couple days ago makes me want to get a bit of the prairie life.

Worthington is more diverse largely because of the huge Swift meet packing plant. Wiki said 66% white in Worthington (probably closer to 50/50 though).
SD and Sioux Falls isn't quite as diverse as Worthington, wiki says around 83% white, but that’s down from the low 90s even just maybe 20 years ago. Sioux Falls has quite a few diverse groups of African refugees. I remember many of the Lost Boys of Sudan came to SF in the 90s along with refugees from Kenya, Somalia.
The bigger reality is a lot of farms are increasingly more reliant on legal / illegal workers. This is definitely a portion of the diversity, but I would guess the population is quite undercounted.
Personally, my relatives still farm one of the family homesteads and have a massive dairy operation. Last I remember, they had over 150 employees and a majority are from Mexico. I’d guess if you went around the region, you’d find pockets of all sorts of nationalities working on the farms.
Edit: And you can see how the border wall / keep the migrants out rhetoric works even way up north away from the border. In all the small dying towns, Main Street has been wiped out (thanks Walmart, Amazon, etc), meaning white jobs have disappeared, yet the remaining rural jobs are increasingly done by non-white. Even though it’s not one replacing the other, it’s easily reduced to that dynamic.

IDK if anyone here has Canadian friends/family, but a Toronto loved one of mine who I talk with daily hadn't gotten any of my whatsapp messages and I was starting to get a little worried. Reached out to her roommate and the msg didn't go through either.
A quick Google reveals that Canada's version of Verizon/Spectrum had huge failures & outages today. Crazy!
Capital Cincy sounds rad. On my bucket list, along with all the others I haven't done.
what have you done? The AT or PCT will probably come for me in the next 5 or so years
a guy i know from school graduated in 3.5 years so finished up in December and started doing the AT this semester while everyone else was still in school. he should be finishing soon and is documenting it on insta @stroudhikes i believe. been super cool to keep up with and would love to do it one day
also, as someone who grew up Catholic, i’ve always been intrigued by El Camino de Santiago Compostela over on Spain, despite not being drawn to it for faith reasons anymore. that’s probably #1 on my list of long hikes because i’ve wanted to do it for so long, but who knows when i’ll have the time for it lol
