Typical home value divided by the average annual wage of one covered job.
A percentile here is a min-max scaling of average rank: the smallest published value in the cohort is 0 and the largest is 100, and tied values share the average of the ranks they span. It is not the share of entities below the value, so 0 means smallest, not none below. Entities that did not publish the metric are outside the cohort entirely and are counted in neither the rank nor its denominator.

Sites found: 5, searched within 0 km of this place’s internal point. That is a disc around a point, not the area itself: sites outside the boundary are included, and sites inside it further than 0 km away are not.
US Drought Monitor current week; the highest class of any polygon containing the point.
Reservoirs #
Surface water layer not loaded
Sites found: 0, searched within 150 km of this place’s internal point. That is a disc around a point, not the area itself: sites outside the boundary are included, and sites inside it further than 150 km away are not.
Σ(capacity × percent full) / Σ capacity over TWDB reservoirs within 150 km. Texas only; elsewhere USGS reservoir elevation/storage is listed without a capacity to normalise by.
Stream gauges #
Surface water layer not loaded
Sites found: 0, searched within 75 km of this place’s internal point. That is a disc around a point, not the area itself: sites outside the boundary are included, and sites inside it further than 75 km away are not.
USGS latest readings screened against EPA freshwater criteria (DO ≥ 5 mg/L, pH 6.5–9, conductance, turbidity, temperature); NWS flood categories where a NWPS gauge is co-located.
Groundwater #
No USGS monitoring wells within 75 km (or above 1,500 km)
Sites found: 0, searched within 75 km of this place’s internal point. That is a disc around a point, not the area itself: sites outside the boundary are included, and sites inside it further than 75 km away are not.
USGS latest daily water levels. A single latest reading says where the table is, not which way it is moving; select a well for its 365-day trace.

Banks & federal dollars #
$329.6 m in deposits at 2 offices of 2 banks (SOD June 2026); HHI 9,465, highly concentrated. $227.3 m federal obligations in FY2026 (direct payments $226.2 m, grants $972,025), $291,036 per covered job
| Item | Value | Distance |
|---|---|---|
| First National Bank in Philip | $320.5 m · 97.2% share · 1 office | |
| First National Bank | $9.1 m · 2.8% share · 1 office | |
| Haakon, SD | $227.3 m FY2026 · $291,036/job | |

|---|---|---|---|
| First National Bank in Philip | $320,529,000 | 97.2% | 1 |
| First National Bank | $9,068,000 | 2.8% | 1 |
Deposit concentration is 9,465 across 2 banks, which the 1995 Department of Justice bank merger screen calls highly concentrated.
HHI = Σ (share %)² over 2 banks with deposits in the county = 97.2² + 2.8² = 9,465
FDIC Summary of Deposits: deposits at every insured office as of June 30, annual; HHI is the sum of squared county deposit shares (DOJ 1995 bank merger screen: 1000 / 1800). USAspending: obligations by place of performance for the latest complete federal fiscal year (Oct 1 to Sep 30), what agencies committed, not what they paid out; recipients are legal entities. Per-job divides obligations by BLS QCEW covered employment.
Federal obligations #
USAspending place-of-performance obligations for FY2026, by awarding agency.
| Awarding agency | Obligations |
|---|---|
| Department of the Interior | $206,436,306 |
| Social Security Administration | $9,592,451 |
| Department of Agriculture | $9,392,999 |
| Department of Transportation | $968,436 |

| Railroad Retirement Board | $120,490 |
| Department of Energy | $107,693 |
| Federal Communications Commission | $82,967 |
| Department of Education | $12,884 |
That is $291,036 per covered job, against 781 jobs in the 2026 Q1 QCEW quarter.
per job = FY2026 obligations $227.3 m / 781 covered jobs (BLS QCEW 2026 Q1, all ownerships) = $291,036
USAspending obligations are recorded where the work is performed, so a prime award performed here is counted here even when the recipient is headquartered elsewhere. Recipients are legal entities, never people.
