Center City District report: Fun with maps!

Yesterday, the Center City District released its report "State of Center City Philadelphia 2012." It is, simply, a glut of interesting information. Wages, jobs, office space, pedestrian traffic, taxes, it's all in there. (Example: the average Center City hotel guest spends $387 a night over a two-night stay.) But what's really cool are the interactive maps on the CCD's website.

Center City District report: Fun with maps!

POSTED: Friday, April 27, 2012, 4:31 PM

Yesterday, the Center City District released its report "State of Center City Philadelphia 2012." It is, simply, a glut of interesting information (at the news conference, CCD chief Paul Levy confessed to his agency's veritable love affair with data). Wages, jobs, office space, pedestrian traffic, taxes, it's all in there. (Example: the average Center City hotel guest spends $387 a night over a two-night stay.) But what's really cool are the interactive maps on the CCD's website.

Go to this page to see a map of all the outdoor cafes in Center City. Slide the little bar on the left to see the changes from 2002 to 2011. The other tabs on the page let you see a map of office buildings by year built; a map of workers by neighborhood; and a map of Center City jobs and wages. See anything noteworthy in any of those numbers?
