(Redirected from St. Louis Metropolitan Statistical Area)
'Greater St. Louis' is the informal name of the 'St. Louis Metropolitan Statistical Area', the 18th largest in the United States. Its population of 2,801,033 (as of 2007 according to the US Census Bureau) includes the independent City of St. Louis, St. Louis County (which does not include the City of St. Louis), the Missouri counties of Saint Charles, Jefferson, Franklin, Lincoln, Warren and Washington and the Illinois counties of Madison, Saint Clair, Clinton, Monroe, Jersey, Bond, Calhoun and Macoupin. Population statistics are shown below.
As of now, four new counties have entered the St. Louis Metro Area, 1 in Missouri (Washington), and 3 in Illinois (Bond, Calhoun, and Macoupin). Although the population of all four of the new counties are much smaller than the rest of the existing counties in the St. Louis Metro Area, they are growing much faster
than the other counties-- for example, in Washington County, Missouri, the employment rate grew 66.7% between
1990 to 1999, so these counties may still be small, they will not be in 5-15 years time. Calhoun County, in Illinois, has the smallest population among the new counties in the St. Louis Metro Area.
