St. Louis metro is growing, but slower than rest of nation
Population growth in the St. Louis metro area is lagging behind the rest of the nation. 2012 census figures released today indicate that the region grew by less than one-tenth of a percentage point, while the nation as a whole grew by three-quarters of one percent.
Locally, the City of St. Louis, Franklin County and all of the metro-east counties except Monroe, lost ground.
St. Louis, Jefferson, St. Charles, Warren and Lincoln Counties all added population, with the most growth west of the Missouri River.
