Across South Dakota's 66 counties, 12 have two or more of the four health-risk areas (environmental, disease, provider access, and social conditions) above the national threshold at the same time. These are the places where several pressures land together rather than one at a time.

Statewide, the health-risk area scoring highest on average is gaps in provider access, the leading driver of community health need in South Dakota.

The most widespread specific risk pattern is Runoff Burden, triggered in 35 counties, followed by Respiratory Burden in 12 counties.
