What it’s like
The place. Tabor is a very small town in Bon Homme County, where most homes are lived in by their owners and household incomes run well above the county's. Fewer residents live below the poverty line than you might expect for a farm-country town, and fewer adults hold a four-year degree than across much of the country. Winters are cold, with the coldest days in January, and a fair amount of snow falls each year; summers are warm, with July the warmest month.
Work. Residents of Tabor work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in transport, warehouses and utilities, and in shops. Across Bon Homme County, the largest workplaces include the Bon Homme School District, a continuing care retirement community, and St. Michaels Hospital. Unemployment in the county is low and unchanged from a year earlier, though the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before. Commutes are fairly short, and very few people work from home.
Things to do. A short drive away, Lewis and Clark State Recreation Area is a protected area on the water, and Snatch Creek is a small river for a quiet outing. Farther afield, Lewis and Clark Lake is a large reservoir on the Missouri, and the Missouri National Recreational River is a protected stretch of one of the best known rivers in the country. Both are a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Tabor’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively 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 Bon Homme County and the Yankton, SD metro.
