What it’s like
The place. Hurley is a very small city in Turner County, in the farm country of southeastern South Dakota. Nearly all of its homes are lived in by their owners, a good deal more than is usual across the country. Household incomes run a little below the county's, and winters are cold and snowy, with a milder, warm summer in July.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in the building trades, in shops and in manufacturing. Across Turner County, some of the largest workplaces are Pioneer Memorial Hospital and Health, the Parker School District and the Viborg-Hurley School District. Unemployment in the county is low and has held steady from a year earlier, and the county has added a few more jobs. Commutes tend to be fairly long, and only a small number of people work from home.
Things to do. Swan Lake, a lake a short drive away, is the closest spot for time by the water. Farther afield, a longer drive brings you to Great Plains Zoo, to the Washington Pavilion of Arts and Science, a museum, and to Falls Park, a protected area along the river.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Hurley’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very high. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Turner County and the Sioux Falls, SD metro.
