Based on the 2010 Census for persons 16 years of age and older who designated a single race, the City of Ladue's African American residential population is 0.88, which registers as one of the lowest African American populations in the State of Missouri. Unfortunately, this is not a true reflection of the racial diversity represented in the City of Ladue on any given day. The transient or traveling population within Ladue is far different than the population of residents in Ladue. Ladue is home to several major thoroughfares, which are used to connect Ladue to people from all over St. Louis City, St. Louis County, and throughout Missouri. I-170 and US 64/40 both travel through Ladue, along with Clayton Road, Ladue Road, Warson Road, and McKnight Road which all carry high volumes of vehicles through Ladue on a daily basis. In addition, Lindbergh Boulevard is set just feet outside of Ladue's jurisdiction and provides access to the main thoroughfares of Ladue. Ladue is also home to several businesses to include high volume retail and grocery stores, multiple private and public schools, and a popular St. Louis County Park. Mention can also be made that two of St. Louis' shopping malls are placed on both the east and west borders of Ladue. Our concern is that the residential data traditionally used in the Vehicle Stop Report does not provide an accurate account of the diverse transient population that truly represents the diversity within the City of Ladue at any given time.
