A visual representation of what St. Louisans know too well.

The Legend


1970 Population Density - St. Louis City


1980 Population Density - St. Louis City


1990 Population Density - St. Louis City



2000 Population Density - St. Louis City


These maps are from Social Explorer. The website allows the user to create maps using census data from 1790 to 2000 for certain variables. Check it out. The flight of wealth out of the city is perhaps more interesting than the population density maps. Be sure to map that one out. For whatever reason, a gap exists at 1960. I could have gone farther, but did not want to skip this decade.

Anyhow, enjoy.
