The verdict

Palmdale runs at 20% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical General public administration workplace, earning a grade A.

Palmdale: 0.7 TCR = 20% of General public administration BLS 3.2 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Palmdale safety composite

Palmdale scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 93% 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).

Palmdale has more employees than the General public administration median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 4.6. Workforce size and injury rate do not always move together within the same industry -- some of its smaller peers run higher rates than its larger ones, and vice versa.
