  From the article: "A dark swathe of North Dakota that appears to cover the geography of the oil and gas boom stands out as well."

  Oil boom. All the various workers are making triple digit salaries, and like any good boom, people offering food and housing are adjusting their prices upwards to match.

    Is in NY, PN, WV, VA, and OH. Not ND.

  I'm guessing it's areas where demand is high, but supply is low, due to increased oil & gas activity.

  Fracking and oil.

  Would probably be a bit higher if some of the oil companies didn't buy local hotels.
