Dickinson at a Glance
Climate figures: NOAA 1991–2020 normals from the Theodore Roosevelt Ap, ND station, about 7 miles away.
Planning Around the Weather
DOE's Building America map puts Stark County in the Cold climate region (IECC 2021 zone 6A, PNNL county guide). Winters in this region are long enough that freezing, not heat, is usually the main limit on units that carry water.
Freezing Nights
About 189 nights a year drop to 32°F or below, more than nine in ten U.S. places in our data, so freezing weather covers a large part of the year. Anything that holds fresh water freezes first: hand-wash stations, deluxe flush tanks and trailer plumbing. For winter dates, ask for winterized units or a heated restroom trailer, or plan on sanitizer.
Summer Hot Spells
About 20 days a year reach 90°F, fewer than most U.S. places in our data; hot spells come and go rather than lasting all summer. If your dates land in a hot spell, ask for an extra service visit on multi-day rentals and keep hand-wash stations topped up.
Job Sites and Home Projects
New Housing
About 35.5% of Dickinson's housing units were built in 2010 or later (ACS 2020–2024), roughly 3.1 times the U.S. share of 11.4%. That is a housing-stock figure, not a count of current projects, but it means much of the place was built recently, often as subdivisions where several crews share one site.
Homes From the 1970s and 1980s
The median year built for Dickinson's housing is 1987 (ACS 2020–2024), newer than most U.S. places in our data, and 39% of housing units predate 1980. Housing from that era is now 35 to 55 years old; crews replacing roofs, windows or mechanical systems on it need a toilet on site like any other crew.
Apartments, Townhouses and Rentals
The most common housing type is detached houses, about 54% of units (lower than three in four U.S. places in our data), followed by buildings with five or more units at about 29% (ACS 2020–2024). Detached houses usually have a driveway or yard where a crew's unit can stand within reach of the service truck. Apartment and condo projects bring larger crews, and a property manager decides where units go. About 39% of occupied homes are rented (owner share lower than most U.S. places in our data), so check who controls the property before a unit goes on it.
OSHA 29 CFR 1926.51 scales with headcount: 45 workers on an apartment or condo site need 2 toilet seats and 2 urinals, 210 need 5 of each. More on sizing: construction rentals in North Dakota.
Events, Weddings and Parties
An all-day festival for 5,000 people over six hours needs 38 units on the PSAI event chart, or 42 to 46 with alcohol (PSAI adds 10–20%). Every cluster of restrooms needs at least 5% accessible units, rounded up, so even a two-unit cluster includes an ADA unit.
Cold, not heat, limits the outdoor season: from late fall into spring, ask for a heated restroom trailer or units that do not depend on running water. For a party at an apartment complex or a rented home, the property manager or landlord decides where units can stand. More: event rentals in North Dakota and wedding restrooms in North Dakota.
