In 2020, South Dakota had $12.9 million in total cash and investment holdings in its public pension funds, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's Annual Survey of Public Pensions.

Of that amount, $12.3 million was in state pension funds, and the remaining $613,787 was in local government pension funds.

The survey includes public pensions sponsored by local and state government entities with employees who are compensated with public funds. The local governments include counties, townships, school districts, and special districts.

The data gathered includes revenues, expenditures, financial assets, membership and liabilities information.

It's worth noting that residents in Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming are not subject to state income taxes.

The Census Bureau cautions not all respondents answer all survey questions. Thus, some fields were left blank.

South Dakota reported data from four pension systems, including two state-level pension funds and two local-level systems. The total number of pension system members was 93,857 (92,147 at the state level and 1,710 at the local level).
