Our North Star: Inclusive Growth
Navigating St. Louis’ Next Decade
Released in 2021, the STL 2030 Jobs Plan outlined the vision and imperative of inclusive growth, defined as broad-based economic growth that enables everyone across the metro — residents, workers, entrepreneurs, companies, organizations, and communities — to realize their full potential and contribute to and benefit from economic success. STL 2030 Progress provides an #STLMade framework for tracking progress towards this goal through a suite of data-driven tools.

How We Define and Measure Success
Measuring Growth: North Star Metrics
Four economic indicators define growth potential for the metro. These North Star Metrics guide our path forward, tracking economic growth as well as population well-being and disparities.
-
Population Growth
To avoid decline, St. Louis must return to growth, attract and retain a diverse workforce, and create a welcoming environment for immigrants and other newcomers.
-
GDP Growth
Gross Domestic Product measures total income and expenditure on goods and services, indicating production capacity and the overall health of a metro area.
-
Household Income Growth
This income metric provides insight into the overall economic well-being of residents. St. Louis must address stark disparities in income between its Black and white populations.
-
Home Ownership Rate
Home ownership impacts financial security and generational wealth building. Stark disparities exist in home ownership between Black and white populations.
Collective Regional Effort
When the St. Louis metro works together and speaks with one voice, we succeed.
More than 60 partners from across the public and private sectors worked together over many months to establish STL 2030 Progress. This effort showcases the power of open data and highlights the investment and commitment of hundreds of organizations across 15 counties. And we’re just getting started. Working together, we will advance inclusive growth and win this decade for St. Louis.
