The customers behind the numbers in Mountain Grove
Veterans make up 18.1% of the civilian adult population. If you give service members or veterans any special terms, say so on the website, not only at the counter. 8.3% of Mountain Grove residents are under 5 years old. Pediatric care, child care and family services compete hard for these parents online.
Residents 65 and older account for 23.8% of the population, against 17.9% in Missouri. Adult children often search on behalf of older parents, so the website has to explain services plainly.
