Census data reveals population shifts and growth in various U.S. counties.
TL;DR Summary
New U.S. Census Bureau estimates show St. Louis continuing a decades-long population slide while St. Charles County and other outer suburban areas keep growing. The city’s population dropped 2.38%, to 286,578 from 293,562. St. Louis County’s total went down by 0.78%, to 990,414 from 998,227. The gains in outer-rim areas weren’t enough to keep the overall metro area from losing an estimated 11,000-plus residents from July 2021 to July 2022. The new estimates indicated Missouri’s population essentially was static, growing by just 8,134 people to about 6.18 million.
