ST. LOUIS (KMOX) - According to the US Census that came out last month, the St. Louis region grew in population but at a much slower rate than other comparable cities. It was knocked out of the top-20 list of the largest metro areas in the US for the first time in more than a century.
So where are people going when they put St. Louis in their rearview mirror? The U.S. Census Bureau has now compiled a list of just that.
