INTRODUCTION Downtown Madison, Inc. (DMI) is proud to present its tenth annual State of the Downtown, a data driven report that provides objective and accurate information about downtown Madison. Ten years of data has provided us a wealth of information to better understand the current state of our downtown and to help plan for future projects, growth, challenges, and opportunities to maintain a healthy and vital central city. 2020 has been an unprecedented year, and like cities and communities around the country and world, the impact on downtown Madison has been significant. Although much of the information in this report reflects data prior to 2020, a special section has been included at the end of this year’s report highlighting the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic so far on downtown Madison. We hope the numbers in this year’s report will help begin to inform us on the work needed to best reimagine downtown Madison and position us for the future. We encourage residents, businesses, community organizations, and city officials to join DMI in using the information in this report to help ensure downtown Madison is a thriving, inclusive, and welcoming place for all.

BOUNDARIES & MAP The central downtown is defined in this report as the area bounded by Lake Mendota, Lake Monona, Blair Street and Park Street. The majority of data compiled in this report focuses on the central downtown area. On a broader scale, downtown Madison is often viewed as the Madison isthmus from Camp Randall Stadium on the West to the Yahara River on the East. This broader definition is reflected in various metrics throughout the report, but the primary focus is the central downtown. The geographic boundaries of Madison’s Central Business Improvement District (BID), 53703 zip code area as well as the Capitol East District are also used in the report.

Size measured by the combined number of full-time and part-time employees. Not all employees work onsite. Downtown defined as 53703, 53706 and 53715 zip code. Data from InBusiness is based on company self-reporting. Data for individual businesses from MadREP is provided by DatabaseUSA.com, which maintains a database of more than 14 million U.S. business entities and InBusiness Book of Lists 2019. Note that in aggregate, data from DatabaseUSA.com will not be consistent with Emsi labor market data due to differences in definitions, methodology, coverage, and industry/ geographic classification. Due to a lack of source data at the ZIP code level, Emsi's ZIP-level estimates can be less accurate when looking at a small number of ZIP codes. This is especially likely to occur in rural areas.
