Ballena Vista Farm safety composite

Ballena Vista Farm scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 52% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 3%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers. A missing measure drops out and redistributes its weight rather than deflating the score. This is a per-dimension breakdown, distinct from the single letter grade above it (which weights TCR alone against the BLS industry benchmark).

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to California alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #3 safest of 4 Equine boarding employers in California.

Ballena Vista Farm (18 employees, TCR 6.3) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 38 employees and a TCR of 4.1

Ballena Vista Farm has fewer employees than the Equine boarding median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 4.1.
