Learn moreA real, substantial regional healthcare anchor
Hannibal Regional Healthcare System is the region's largest employer, operating 10 locations across northeast Missouri, west-central Illinois, and southeast Iowa -- a genuine, substantial in-city healthcare asset distinct from markets that rely entirely on a neighboring city's hospital.
A real, disclosed crime-rate tension
Hannibal's violent crime rate (358 per 100,000) runs essentially at the national rate (359), and City-Data.com's own 2025 crime index (148) runs a real 1.5 times smaller than -- i.e., safer than -- the US average. A SEPARATE class of source, however, characterized Hannibal's overall rate (28 per 1,000) as among the higher rates nationally. Both framings are disclosed honestly here.
