South Dakota's average commute time is about 17 minutes, significantly lower than the national average of over 26 minutes. Public transit options are limited, so having reliable transportation is essential, especially in rural areas.

These attractions and more draw nearly 15 million tourists to the state annually. Whether you enjoy hiking, biking, fishing, or exploring historical sites, South Dakota provides many opportunities for adventure.

Sioux Falls, the largest city, offers urban amenities while maintaining a friendly, small-town atmosphere. Rapid City serves as the gateway to the Black Hills, a unique mountain range in the Great Plains. Brookings is home to South Dakota State University and has a lively college-town vibe. If you enjoy country life, you’ll find opportunities outside of cities as well, since about 44% of the state’s population lives in rural areas.

South Dakota was named after the Lakota and Dakota Sioux Native American tribes, and tribal culture is a vital part of the state’s identity. The influence of the Sioux is evident in the state's art, music, and festivals, which celebrate rich traditions and history. Other important cultural events include the South Dakota State Fair, the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, and various rodeos across the state.
