Houston: 6.5 TCR = 296% of Agricultural chemicals merchant wholesalers BLS 2.2 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Houston safety composite

Houston scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 74% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 21%), 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).
