Research / Best healthcare access
ZIP codes with the best healthcare access in Mississippi
Ranked by the Healthcare Access Score, which rises the closer the nearest hospital is.
How we rank healthcare access
The Healthcare Access Score is higher when a hospital is closer to the ZIP's center.
The score does not account for hospital size, specialties, quality, or drive time, and many urban ZIPs tie near 100.
Open a ZIP's profile for the distance in miles and the number of hospitals within 15 miles.
Only ZIPs with at least 1,000 residents are ranked, so a handful of households cannot top the list. 325 Mississippi ZIPs qualify.
