Center City’s retailers, restaurants and street-level service business are rebounding from the pandemic, supported by the third-largest downtown residential population in the U.S. and by returning volumes of city and regional shoppers, college students, tourists and convention attendees and a steadily rising number of office workers.

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 the CCD/CPDC Center City Retail Report, November 2023.
