Per-item analysis

St. Louis

St. Louis is the #66 metro by economic size ($185bn) in the panel and ranks #102/162 on absolute Metro Power and #110/162 on per-capita intensity. No pillar stands out as a clear strength; the binding concern is talent. Locally it runs below the United States national average (MCC 39.3 vs CC 86.7).

Strengths

  • No standout strength.

Risk factors

  • Binding weakness — Talent 35.4 (#112/162, Developing): a shallow talent base that constrains how much can be built locally.
