The verdict

Chicago runs at 131% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical industry workplace, earning a grade D.

Chicago: 3.7 TCR = 131% of industry BLS 2.8 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Chicago safety composite

Chicago scores safer than 51% of same-industry peers on total case rate (tcr), blended into one 0-100 breakdown. 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).
