As the fourth-largest metropolitan area in the state, it strikes a balance between affordability and value. With a population of 50,000 (which swells to over 250,000 during work hours), Joplin serves as a vibrant hub for economic, health, and cultural activities across multiple communities in the four-state region.

One of Joplin's standout features is its proximity to home. Beautiful neighborhoods lie within a convenient 5-10 minute drive from the clinic and hospital, allowing physicians to spend more time where they belong with loved ones. For those seeking an active lifestyle, Joplin delivers. Golf, tennis, gyms, running, and scenic hikes along the chert bluffs provide ample opportunities to stay fit and engaged.
