According to Saturday Night Science, the most boring places in South Dakota for 2024 are Hartford and Canton. It’s true: South Dakota has many beautiful and exciting places to visit. Regrettably, not all towns and cities in the state of Mount Rushmore are as fortunate.
Just like in all U.S. States, there are definitely some uninteresting places within the borders of South Dakota. You know those places where everyone has an AARP card and the most exciting thing they do all day is share a picture of their grandchild on Facebook.
For example, Hartford. According to Saturday Night Science, our recent analysis shows that this city is considered the most boring city in Oklahoma. But don’t worry if you live in Hartford. South Dakota has many other uninteresting and uninspiring places too.
If your city’s name is on the list, don’t worry. We didn’t use personal opinion to determine what makes a city boring or exciting. We analyzed real data to determine which towns are statistically more boring. A real estate agent has knowledge about this data, but they typically do not disclose it.

Method to determine the boring cities in South Dakota
If you were arguing with your friends at a bar about the most boring place to live in South Dakota, you would present the following case. That is why we refer to it as Saturday Night Science.
Our data provides more accurate information than emotions.
To determine the level of boredom in a place, we considered factors that we usually associate with exciting people. Then, we identified the cities with the fewest number of these exciting individuals.
We collected the information presented here using data from the U.S. American Community Census. Some things that people often consider to make a city’s population boring include:
- % of Population Over 25 (higher is more boring)
- % of Married Household (higher is more boring)
- Average Age (higher is more boring)
- % of Households With Kids (higher is more boring)
- Population density (lower is more boring)
Our algorithm creates a ranking for each place based on these categories. After analyzing the data, the cities were ranked from the most boring to the most exciting.
We considered all South Dakota cities with a population of at least 2,000 for this ranking. This prevents us from unfairly influencing our rankings by including very small groups of retired individuals.
Get your chair and hold on tight. We have revised this article for 2024, and this is our tenth time ranking the least interesting cities in South Dakota.
