Each of these individual categories represented 14% of the total deactivations for the week.
Geographically, Macon registered 2 deactivations, both associated with an organizational entity. Other cities with single deactivations included Saint Louis, Boonville, Pacific, and Cape Girardeau, indicating a distribution of changes across different regions of Missouri.
