Overall, 72% of residents in the Sioux Falls metro area described the state of health and wellness as good to excellent and access to physical activity is high.

The Sioux Falls Health Assessment, as reported by MSN, highlights several areas where the community's health could be improved. Key findings include a significant number of residents experiencing mental health issues, with 15% reporting frequent mental distress. The assessment also points out disparities in health outcomes, particularly among minority populations, with higher rates of chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease. Access to healthcare remains a challenge, with many residents citing cost and transportation as barriers. Additionally, the report notes an increase in substance abuse, including alcohol and tobacco use, and a concerning trend in youth mental health, with increased reports of anxiety and depression. The assessment calls for community-wide efforts to enhance mental health services, reduce health disparities, and improve overall access to care.
