Is This the Absolutely Worst Place To Live In South Dakota?

A surprising town was named the worst place to live in all of South Dakota and the reason behind it is a bit unexpected.

Money Inc. made a list of the 20 worst cities and towns to live in all of South Dakota and no part of the state is left unmarked.

The list focused on a number of key factors, including crime rate, unemployment, low wages, and school funding.

So which city is the "worst" in South Dakota, according to the article? Read on:

If you've spent any amount of time living in the Land of Ten Thousand Lakes, consider yourself lucky, as it's widely regarded as one of the best states in the entire country to live and raise a family.

That being said, some towns have a better reputation than others. Money Inc. recently released its list of the Top 20 Worst Places to live in all of Minnesota and it has created quite a stir in the North Star State.

Money Inc. used crime statistics, unemployment rates, and overall happiness to determine which cities and towns fit the bill.

For thirty years the people of Sioux Falls saw the sign for Gordmans off-price department store across the parking lot from the Empire Mall.

In September of 2020, the store closed for its final time. Since then the building has sat empty, something that doesn't happen too often in Sioux Falls.

We were wondering what people in Sioux Falls would like to see take over the space. Some folks wanted their Gordmans back. It was a great place to find deals on clothing. But, all the Gordmans are gone, so that's a no-go.

And since we've gotten our Chick Fil A and Chipotle, the city is primed for another thing to line up for.
