What it’s like
The place. Gladstone is a very small city in Stark County, North Dakota, where nearly all the homes are lived in by their owners. Household incomes in the county are well above what is typical across the country. Winters are cold and summers are warm, with January the coldest month and July the warmest, and moderate rain and melted snow through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, and others work in farming, forestry and mining, in shops, or in the building trades. Across Stark County, some of the largest workplaces are Dickinson 1 Schools, Killdeer Mountain Manufacturing and Dickinson State University. Relatively few adults in town hold a four-year degree.
Things to do. The Green River runs in or beside town, a quiet spot for a walk along the water. For a longer drive, the Dickinson Museum Center and the Dakota Dinosaur Museum are both museums a bit farther off.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Gladstone’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Stark County and the Dickinson, ND metro.
