What it’s like
The place. Tioga is a small city in Williams County, North Dakota, with a young population: the typical resident is noticeably younger than in most of the country. Winters are long and cold, with January the coldest month and plenty of snow, while summers are warm in July and the year brings modest moisture overall. Homes here are typically priced well below what buyers pay in much of the country.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, and a good number work in farming, forestry and mining, with others in shops, restaurants and hotels. The largest workplaces in Tioga include Hess Corporation's Tioga operation, Neset Consulting Service, which does oil and gas field work, and Tioga 15 Schools. Jobs across Williams County have slipped slightly over the past year, and unemployment there is low and a little lower than a year earlier.
Things to do. For time outdoors, the White Earth River is a longer drive away, as is Lewis and Clark State Park, a protected area. Lostwood National Wildlife Refuge, also a longer drive, is another protected area for those who like open country. The Ray Opera House, a theatre, is a longer drive away as well.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Tioga’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 Williams County and the Williston, ND metro.
