Not too surprised by North Dakota. A few things that might apply:
-North Dakota is currently one of the easiest states to get a good unskilled labor job and has had lots of immigrants coming over for the oil industry, my childhood friend's South African husband was met in North Dakota while working on the oil fields. It's causing both internal migration from elsewhere in the US and from other countries.
-With its current economy, ND is also bringing in other Asian immigrants in jobs that are known for them. My brother currently works in the kitchen of a Japanese restaurant, staffed mostly by Asian immigrants (not Japanese obviously, mostly Chinese and Thai), many of whom barely speak English. Supposedly there's plenty of job placement services for them in California where many recent immigrants immediately come. Wouldn't surprise me if some Bhutanese were doing the same (also explaining why they are being more spread out throughout the country.)
