Mainly if you stay west of interstate 170 or south of Delmar (east of 170) and you probably won’t run into any issues.
As someone who lived in North St. Louis COUNTY (the city seceded from the county in 1876), I agree with everything you said.
City is 300,000. County is 1 million. Metro is 3 million.
