Lehigh Valley Zoo: 13.6 TCR = 440% of Zoos BLS 3.1 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Lehigh Valley Zoo safety composite

Lehigh Valley Zoo scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 68% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 12%), 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).
