Neighborhoods of St. Louis
Encyclopedia
St. Louis, Missouri
, is divided into 79 neighborhoods. Census
data is collected for each neighborhood, as well as crime data
, historic property data, and dining establishment health ratings
. National historic neighborhoods
are identified by the official neighborhood to which they belong.
Also, several neighborhood names extend to areas well beyond their technical borders. For example, Downtown St. Louis
is generally thought to include the St. Louis Union Station and the Scottrade Center
, even though Downtown technically ends at Tucker Avenue (12th Street). Additionally, the Fox Theatre and Powell Symphony Hall
are popularly considered a part of Midtown St. Louis
even though they are in Grand Center. Dogtown
is an area south of Forest Park that includes at least 4 distinct neighborhoods. Moreover, sometimes several neighborhoods are lumped together in categories such as "North City" and "South City." These last distinctions - between north and south - carry racial distinctions because the City of St. Louis used to be racially segregated
by legally enforceable racially restrictive covenants (i.e., restrictions in property deeds that forbade sales to persons of particular races), and effectively still is segregated by circumstance; North City was the "black" half while South City was the "white" half (see also Crime in St. Louis, Missouri). This has changed somewhat as many blacks have settled in South City, but the central corridor, in between remains the most racially integrated area. However, North City used to have large Polish
and German
- among others - immigrant populations, evidenced by the churches they built, such as St. Stanislaus Kostka Church.
.
. These wards, however, change with every new census, and data is not as readily available for comparison across wards. Nevertheless, the wards are important in the functioning of the city, as the approval of the local Alderman
is generally understood to be necessary before large projects may begin.
