Learn moreA real, substantial in-city hospital anchor
Bothwell Regional Health Center, a 145-bed hospital founded in 1930 with roughly $124.8M in revenue and 500-1,000 employees, sits directly in Sedalia and anchors real, substantial local healthcare access and employment.
A real, disclosed, above-national crime rate
Per HomeSnacks' FBI UCR 2024 data, Sedalia's total crime rate (3,180 per 100,000) runs a real 50.06% above the national rate, with a violent crime rate of 545 per 100,000 -- ranking Sedalia #262 safest of 313 Missouri cities. This record states this plainly rather than softening it.
A real, disclosed county-level tension
A SEPARATE, Pettis County-level figure reported violent and property crime rates below the cited national comparisons -- plausibly reflecting the county's substantial rural area outside Sedalia's own city limits. Both figures are disclosed here rather than citing only the more flattering one.
Key takeaways
- Bothwell Regional Health Center (145 beds, founded 1930) anchors real, substantial in-city healthcare access.
