From the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, Nov. 15, 2010:
St. Paul residents are more attached to their city than folks in many other cities and that could mean good things for the local economy, according to a study released Monday.
The Soul of the Community report by Gallup and the Knight Foundation, based on three years of data, looked at 25 other cities to gauge people's passion for where they live.
The study has found a positive correlation between community attachment and local economic growth.

Thoughts on the findings in Saint Paul
Polly Talen is Knight’s program director for Saint Paul.
While Knight Foundation does most of its local work in Saint Paul and the East Metro, it is important to note that the survey covers residents in the 12-county Twin Cites metro area. That means we can use this data to make comparisons with some other large urban areas in the study - like St. Jose or Charlotte - but it won't help us make comparisons between Minneapolis and St. Paul or between the urban core and the surrounding suburbs.
