Start with the geography you actually serve
Des Peres is a municipality in St. Louis County, Missouri. The 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimate records 9,170 residents, with a margin of error of 40. That figure describes population eligibility only. It does not establish legal demand, search volume, competition, lead volume or revenue. For attribution, the practical implication is narrower: decide whether Des Peres should be treated as one service area within a broader St. Louis County or metropolitan strategy, then measure inquiries by the geography and matter type your firm actually accepts.
Recommended approach
Review whether your intake records distinguish Des Peres from other St. Louis County locations and whether that distinction matters to matter evaluation. Do not use the population estimate as a forecast. Use it to define the place under review, then judge the service by traceable inquiries and outcomes.
