Big Stone County safety composite

Big Stone County scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 82% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 51%), 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).

Big Stone County has fewer employees than the General public administration median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 4.6.
