A new CCD/CPDC report, Center City Pedestrian Counts, November 2022, documents that pedestrian volumes in October 2022 in the commercial core reached 77% of the October 2019 level, showing steady growth throughout 2022. The rate of increase has been greatest in the commercial office district and the successful return of major conventions is clearly visible in the volume recorded by CCD sensors at 12th and Market Street.

Center City's retail occupancy rates, pedestrian volumes, retail sales and jobs are continuing to rise and are approaching levels last seen in 2019, according to Center City Retail Report, November 2023.
