A recent survey places a major US city among the deadest downtown areas in the world, based on how welcoming people perceive the city’s central area to be. According to reporting from Yahoo UK and The Independent, the city receives a welcoming score of about 60%, which the outlets describe as poor in comparison with other locations included in the survey. The survey results are presented as a measure of how lively or inviting the downtown environment feels, rather than as an official crime or safety assessment. Both outlets reference the same overall finding—low welcoming performance for the city’s downtown—while providing limited additional details about methodology, the full ranking, or how the score is calculated. The reporting also does not specify whether the score reflects resident perceptions, visitor feedback, or a combination of factors. Overall, the available accounts agree that the survey’s assessment is negative for the city’s downtown, contributing to its placement among the least vibrant downtowns in the survey’s comparison.
