Placer.AI Highlights Downtown's Upward Trajectory
Milwaukee Downtown is using Placer.ai to track patterns of various user groups in Downtown Milwaukee and the Business Improvement District #21 boundary.
In terms of visitors, Downtown saw an increase of 2.6% or 100,000 visitors in May when compared to April, marking the 2nd highest visitor volume over the last 12 months. The number of employees reporting to Downtown Milwaukee for work saw a decrease to 418,800 when compared to April. This 9.8% decrease is likely attributable to the larger amount of out-of-office time taken around the Memorial Day holiday.
Overall, the consistent increase in visitor and employee travel throughout 2025 continues to showcase the strength of Downtown Milwaukee and our upward trajectory as a destination for travel and work.
