VISITATION INSIGHTS

Average Monthly Visits

Although COVID affected communities across the region, DTLA was uniquely impacted by stay-at-home orders. As people remained in their residential communities, trips to DTLA dropped dramatically. 2021 saw significant gains overall but was slowed by the Delta and Omicron variants. With the growth trend continuing in 2022, visits to DTLA are now near prepandemic levels.

YEAR-OVER-YEAR COMPARISON

Visits to Downtown LA remained fairly consistent throughout 2022, solidifying the significant gains from the prior year. While still around 10% below the pre-pandemic average of 10 million visitors per month, given the continued reduction in workplace visits, this represents a strong return to form for the non-office sectors that draw people to DTLA.
