Downtown Portland Clean & Safe is tracking visitor counts within our district on a monthly basis. We use Placer.ai data that is geofenced around the 213-blocks that make up the Clean & Safe Enhanced Service District.
Through the use of this data, we are able to distinguish between an ‘employee’ and a ‘visitor’. Think of these two categories as someone working downtown versus coming to shop in downtown. Together, we call these two data points ‘Foot Traffic’ and are updated monthly.
