I might not have been quite clear. The
total population in St. Louis living in census tracts over 10k per square mile decreased from 2010 to 2020. That calculation in 2010 used the then-current densities, so what likely happened was that a swath of South City went from 11k/12k down to 8k/9k, and thus were no longer counted. This density calculation is over the qualifying tracts in each Census, not taking the 2020 tracts and running back ten years.
The Central Corridor is growing nicely. I plan on returning to the urban Midwest in a few years, and the CC would be high on my list if not for how intense the summers are.
