I wish to note that there is a significant drop within the disparity index for black motorists. The difference is 13.90 (2020) vs. 19.81 (2019). That's a 5.91 decrease. Des Peres, Missouri has a very low residential population of Black Residents (1.24%). This accounts for some of the disparity. As you will note the stop totals of White drivers is 603 vs. the Black drivers stops of 138. A White driver is over 4.3 more likely to be stopped in Des Peres than a Black driver. The US Census published July1, 2019 shows that the White population is 76.3% and the Black population is 13.4%. As you can see Des Peres, Missouri's residential population is under represented by Black residents.
