Among 115 Missouri counties with published values, the counties with the highest premature death rates are Pemiscot County, MO (22,326, 2.27 times the U.S. county median of 9,824.9), Ripley County, MO (17,869.5, 1.82 times the U.S. county median of 9,824.9) and Iron County, MO (16,912.6, 1.72 times the U.S. county median of 9,824.9).

Source: County Health Rankings, built from CDC National Vital Statistics System death records. These are county-level figures, compared with the U.S. county median. A high rate does not prove an environmental cause: age, smoking, income, access to care, screening and chance all move county rates, and small counties swing widely.
