Listen "The demographic winter is getting colder "
Episode Synopsis
A year ago, the St. Louis metro area’s population grew solely to an increase in the foreign-born population. A year later, the trends has shifted backward. We speak with St. Louis’ most prominent demographer, Ness Sandoval, to discuss the recent population trends in the region, focusing on the decline of the foreign-born population and the African-American demographic. He highlights the concept of 'demographic winter' and compares St. Louis's growth mindset to that of Cincinnati, emphasizing the need for a collective approach to regional development and housing to attract new residents and counteract population decline.
