How Common Are STDs in Sioux Falls?
Sioux Falls is built around the cascading waterfalls of the Big Sioux River and has grown into one of the fastest-expanding metro areas in the Northern Plains, with a population now exceeding 210,000 and a thriving downtown anchored by Phillips Avenue, Falls Park, and the Washington Pavilion. The city functions as the financial and healthcare capital of the Dakotas, home to major employers like Sanford Health and Avera, alongside a growing tech and startup scene.
That combination of rapid growth and regional hub status creates conditions that elevate STD transmission. Minnehaha County — which contains Sioux Falls — reports the highest STD surge in South Dakota, according to the state Department of Health. The city's role as the primary urban destination for Native Americans relocating from Pine Ridge, Rosebud, and other reservations is reflected in CDC data showing severe Indigenous health disparities — congenital syphilis affects 1 in 42 American Indian births statewide versus 1 in nearly 4,000 White births. Sioux Falls has also been one of the most active refugee resettlement cities per capita in the Great Plains for two decades, with Somali, Congolese, and Bhutanese communities navigating cultural and language barriers to healthcare access. Augustana University, the University of Sioux Falls, and SDSU satellite programs add young adult populations concentrated along Minnesota Avenue and the east side. For a metro absorbing this much demographic change, private testing offers a practical path for residents who want confidential screening without the friction of navigating the public health system.
Sioux Falls STD Rates: By the Numbers
STD rates in Sioux Falls and Minnehaha County reflect South Dakota's position as one of the hardest-hit states nationally for sexually transmitted infections — with the city driving the single largest share of statewide cases. According to CDC surveillance data and the South Dakota Department of Health:
• South Dakota reported a chlamydia rate of 531.6 per 100,000 and a gonorrhea rate of 253.3 per 100,000 in 2023 — both well above national medians and ranking among the top ten states for combined STD burden
• Minnehaha County leads all South Dakota counties in total STD case volume, with Sioux Falls accounting for nearly 30% of the state's gonorrhea cases and a proportional share of chlamydia
• South Dakota had the highest rate of congenital syphilis in the nation in 2023, with 54 cases at a rate of 482.1 per 100,000 births — nearly 90% of those cases occurred among Native American infants
• The state's syphilis rate of 84 per 100,000 was the highest in the country, more than double the second-highest state, with Minnehaha County among the top contributors
• Racial disparities are severe — congenital syphilis affects 1 in 42 American Indian births statewide compared to 1 in nearly 4,000 White births, a nearly 100-fold gap
• Young adults aged 20–29 account for the largest share of chlamydia and gonorrhea diagnoses in Minnehaha County, consistent with the college and young professional population in Sioux Falls
• Many infections show no symptoms — making routine testing the only reliable way to know your status
