What the data shows in Missouri

Across Missouri's 115 counties, 11 have two or more of the four health-risk areas (environmental, disease, provider access, and social conditions) above the national threshold at the same time. These are the places where several pressures land together rather than one at a time.

Statewide, the health-risk area scoring highest on average is disease burden, the leading driver of community health need in Missouri.

The most widespread specific risk pattern is Respiratory Burden, triggered in 54 counties, followed by Runoff Burden in 40 counties.

Iron County carries the highest overall need in the state, with an opportunity score of 66 out of 100 (elevated). Higher scores mean more burden relative to the rest of the country.
