U.S. Census Bureau

New census data shows the St. Louis metropolitan region lost around 19,000 people between April 2020 and July 2022. St. Louis and St. Louis County led the declines while suburban and exurban counties, like St. Charles, Lincoln and Jefferson, posted gains as they have in the past.

An annual report by the U.S. Census Bureau estimates that the St. Louis metropolitan region saw a population drop of about half of one percent last year. Much of the estimated decrease came from the City of St. Louis.

The study examined migration patterns for young adults across the country, tracking where residents born between 1984 and 1992 were living when they were 16 years old and then again when they were 26.

The 14-county region hovered around 2.8 million people only shedding about 10,000 between 2020 and 2021, but the changes weren’t evenly distributed.

The bureau will include the number of incarcerated people in reapportionment data going to cities, counties and states next month.

St. Louis and St. Louis County saw the largest population decreases while St. Charles, Jefferson and Lincoln counties had the largest gains.

The Federal Statistical Research Data Center will be housed at Washington University’s Danforth Campus.
