DECEMBER PEDESTRIAN COUNTS

Midweek Visitation Up in December

Our cameras that track pedestrian footfalls indicate that weekdays in December, aside from a one-day snow event, saw increased pedestrian traffic.  Does this track with your business?

 

Some interesting items, pedestrian traffic is the same during the noon hour (ramp up) and the 6 o'clock hour (slow down) and the busiest time of day for the busiest days was the 4 o'clock hour. Our weather held for the month, which aided in keeping the numbers strong. To see how winter weather can have a negative impact on pedestrian traffic, we need only look at the end of 2022. Between the 18th and the 30th of the December that year, there were only two days without precipitation events with many of them severe.
