Storefront vacancy
Not yet called
No published storefront count or rate for the boundary from the improvement district, the city, or a brokerage. A 2021 GoLocal piece says dozens of downtown storefronts were for lease, without a count. Metro shopping-center vacancy was 6.7% at the end of 2025 per a secondary tracker citing Cushman & Wakefield; that is metro inventory, not downtown storefronts, and the primary report has not been pulled. The ledger's own block-face counts will supply this row. R3 R2

Peers, inside their own declared downtowns
- Worcester Not yet called No count or rate found. The BID publishes none online; the Research Bureau's downtown surveys are office-only.
- New Haven Not yet called No count or rate. The district's 2025 annual report lists 12 new businesses and nothing on vacancies or closings; its storefront program dresses empty windows with vinyl but publishes no tally. S44
