Twice a year, Downtown Portland Clean & Safe takes a deeper dive and looks at foot traffic and the number of visits for the whole district as well as individual intersections in the downtown area using Placer.ai. The current trend shows consistent progress, with a 3% increase in foot traffic in 2024 compared to 2023, an 8% increase in employee foot traffic, and a remarkable 54% increase from downtown Portland’s low foot traffic point in 2021. This growth is an encouraging sign of downtown’s appeal and ongoing resilience as more people return to the heart of our city.
