The Missouri ZIP Health Rankings data included on the exploreMOhealth CHNA platform were updated yesterday to reflect the most recent information on the health and social well-being of populations living in 937 Missouri ZIP codes. The latest ZHR data were generated by Missouri hospitals between fiscal years 2019 and 2021, and by the 2020 American Community Survey of the U.S. Census Bureau. In addition, new county-level data from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s 2021 County Health Rankings & Roadmaps program now are available on exploreMOhealth.
Combining both health factors and outcomes, the state’s healthiest ZIP code during the 2019-2021 study period was 63124 — the city of Ladue in St. Louis County with a population of 11,107. At the opposite end of the distribution, ranked 937th was 63955, the census-designated place of Oxly, Mo., in southeastern Ripley County with a population of only 106. The latest issue of HIDI HealthStats provides an overview of the latest ZHR modeling and examples of communities throughout Missouri that are miles away from one and another, but worlds away on health.
