Columbia has earned a perfect score and all-star rating for the fourth year in a row in the Human Rights Campaign s Municipal Equality Index.

In 2020, eight cities in Missouri were evaluated. Columbia and St. Louis received a perfect score and Kansas City received a score of 94 out of 100.
The release noted a 2020 City of Columbia ordinance requiring those doing business with it to have non-discrimination policies in place. The Municipal Equality Index in 2020 ranked 506 cities of various sizes in all states and can be found at: hrc.org/resources/municipal-equality-index.
