About This Safety Grade

The South Dakota safety grade (D, score 49/100) is calculated from four weighted factors: bridge structural condition (poor bridge percentage), workplace fatality rate per 1,000 incidents, water violation rate per water system, high-hazard dam percentage, and average nursing home star rating. Data sourced from FHWA, OSHA, EPA SDWIS, Army Corps of Engineers, and CMS.
