But is it the best city to score in? The purpose of this post is to use Saturday Night Science and data to determine which places are the easiest you could go in South Dakota if you wanted to hook up with someone.

After analyzing 16 of the state’s most populous areas (over 6,000 people), we came up with this list as the ten easiest places to get laid in the state of South Dakota.

Methodology: How we crunched the numbers for getting laid in the Mount Rushmore State

We know we are answering a bar topic with this one, but that’s exactly why we use Saturday Night Science.

To rank the chances where you’re most likely to get laid in South Dakota, we had to determine what criteria help people hook up. It isn’t a stretch to assume that people will get frisky with plenty of young singles, areas where people aren’t married and have kids, and areas with lots of adult things to do.

With that in mind, we used the most recent 2017-2021 American Community Survey Census data produced for the state of South Dakota. And we paired it up with data from OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL 1.0 and colleges from IPEDS.

Can’t really get any better data than that.

We paid particular attention to:

  • Population density
  • % of population that’s female (More females than males)
  • % of unmarried people in each city
  • % of households with kids in each city
  • Colleges per capita
  • Bars per capita

We then gave each city a “Chance To Get Laid Score.”

The higher the score, the better the city is for getting lucky. We also limited our results to cities with over 6,000 people. For South Dakota, that meant a total of 16 cities.

This article is based on facts and is meant as infotainment. We updated this article for 2023, and it’s our tenth time ranking the easiest cities to get laid in South Dakota.
