Brief Overview

Missouri is an affordable state with lower cost of living (stands at three fourths of the national average). Lower crime rates make it more attractive. Still more is the educational statistics that vouch for a higher than national average scores in SAT, and the number of colleges. On the investment front, the state government bonds have a AAA (S&P 1999) rating.  More Info (Full Report)....
