The verdict

Houston runs at 308% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Landscaping workplace, earning a grade F.

Houston: 13.8 TCR = 308% of Landscaping BLS 4.5 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Houston safety composite

Houston scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 52% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 8%), 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).
