Business owners, downtown ambassadors, safety and cleaning crews: We all love downtown Portland, and we’re pretty sure you will, too. But why take our word for it? Head this way to see why downtown Portland is the heart of this city.

Downtown Vibrancy Tracker
Since the onset of the pandemic, we has been tracking the impact on our local economy. The question of how good or bad the recovery of our central city is relative to others has been a hot topic of discussion. In the midst of a changing environment, this recovery tracker can help benchmark metrics like foot traffic, vacancy rates, and hotel performance.

By joining forces with local businesses, residents, and community groups, we deliver enhanced services that contribute to the thriving spirit of our city. Our collective efforts focus on maintaining the vitality of this 213-block area in the city center, ensuring it remains a dynamic and vibrant meeting place for shopping, dining, exploration, and an excellent place to call home. Together, we create an inviting and lively atmosphere that enriches the lives of everyone in our community.
