Life Skills and Money Education in Kramer, ND
About 24 people live in Kramer, North Dakota. The population has barely moved since 2020 — a change of under one percent over four years. With a median age of 72.8, the financial questions that matter most here lean toward retirement drawdown, insurance and estate basics.
Among adults 25 and older in Kramer, 35.3% hold a bachelor's degree or higher. That runs 14.5 points above the North Dakota average of 20.8%. Flip that figure and it describes 64.7% of the 17 adults 25 and over counted in the 2019–2023 ACS, about 11 people whose money skills came from somewhere other than a university.
North Dakota requires personal finance instruction, but folds it into another course rather than a class of its own — so how much a student actually gets depends heavily on the district and the teacher. Coverage like that varies enormously between districts, and it reaches no one who has already graduated.
