Not a like-for-like rank
The peer MSA GDP (~US$226.5B, 2023) is close to Yantai's municipality GDP after indicative USD conversion (~US$162.9B).
Yantai uses the official full prefecture-level municipal scope; St. Louis uses a U.S. MSA boundary. Years, legal status and territorial coverage differ, so GDP proximity is a scale reference only.
