Where We Stand

COVERPage-smWhere We Stand: The Strategic Assessment of the St. Louis Region is a popular and even controversial publication produced every three years by East-West Gateway. Welcome to the basecamp of the fifth edition.  Check back often for updates, analysis and progress reports.


FEATURED INDICATOR: CRIME AND SOCIAL DISORDER

An environment where people have a strong sense of security for themselves and their property greatly improves the quality of life in any community. A low level of crime not only benefits the citizens of metropolitan communities, it also encourages investment in the region. Crime is a primary indicator of social disorder, and often reflects a number of factors in community life—social, psychological, demographic, economic and more.

Crime rates continue to improve in both the St. Louis region and metropolitan regions across the county.
