PROJECT INFORMATION

Buffalo Place Research

How is Downtown doing, and how do we know? Buffalo Place collects information to make it easier for businesses to locate Downtown and for private individuals to invest in our community. Our data collection focuses on:

Downtown Activity:

​ What brings people to Downtown and where do they go?

Where Are Downtown People? (Click for Map)

Downtown Employees: The Downtown community had difficulty finding an estimate of Central Business District employment, with many official sources seeming too low or high due to their methodology. ​ During completion of the 2016-2018 Downtown Access Study, staff realized there was sufficient information from recent parking accumulation reports and a Transportation Mode Survey Of Downtown Employees​ to make a reliable estimate. ​ Weekday employment was estimated at 46,135, with full Downtown employment at 55,362.
