Missoula, Montana, is #2 on the list, with 5.02 workplace fatalities per 100,000 residents. Third on the list is the Grand Forks region that stretches over the border of North Dakota and Minnesota.
However, Midland has nearly twice as many residents as Missoula and more than twice as many as Grand Forks, so it also has more workplace deaths per year total.
