There were 27.3 million pedestrians in downtown Portland in 2024, a little increase of 3% over the previous year.
Based on anonymized mobile phone data gathered by Placer.ai and made public by the Portland Metro Chamber, the figures indicate that foot traffic has mostly plateaued after the post-pandemic recovery. Last year, there were 36% fewer pedestrians living, visiting, or commuting to work downtown than there were in 2019, right before the COVID-19 pandemic, when 42.8 million people walked around the city center.
