Boone County Hospital anchors local care

Boone County Hospital, a real, county-owned nonprofit hospital founded in 1900 (201-500 employees), offers emergency and surgical care alongside cardiac and pulmonary rehab, a diabetes center, a family birth center, and a wound and hyperbaric center (base record).

A real, two-sided crime picture

Boone's crime rate ran considerably above the national average per NeighborhoodScout (approximately 11 crimes per 1,000 residents; overall victim odds ~1-in-88), and higher than 86% of Iowa's own cities and towns -- yet genuinely lower than average when compared against similarly-sized US communities nationally (base record).
