The roughly 60-page report details residents\u2019 economic importance and their demography, Loop housing supply, Loop housing affordability and five-year housing projections. To create the report, CLA conducted a survey of Loop residents in July 2022, and contracted research firm Goodman Williams Group to analyze and predict the current and future landscape of residential living in the Chicago Loop. View the full Loop residential impact study at <a href=\"\/es\/chicago-loop-blog\/chicago-loop-residential-study-reveals-growth-throughout-pandemic\/\">LoopChicago.com\/Residential<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs part of Chicago Loop Alliance\u2019s work in analyzing and predicting various sectors\u2019 impact on the Loop, the recent residential impact study recognizes the significant contributions of Loop residents to our economy,\u201d said Michael Edwards, President and CEO of Chicago Loop Alliance. \u201cThe Loop continues to be the city\u2019s fastest growing neighborhood, and the fastest growing residential downtown in the country, yet the Loop remains in need of amenities to attract and retain residents. We hope the evidence and narrative of this study provides context for how we can all work together to make Chicago\u2019s Loop more beneficial for workers, tourists, and residents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Report highlights include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Loop as the fastest growing downtown in the United States and fastest growing neighborhood in Chicago<\/li>\n<li>The Loop population continued to grow throughout the pandemic with an estimated total population of 46,400 in 2022 (a gain of more than 4,000 residents since the 2020 census)<\/li>\n<li>$481 million\u00a0in annual economic impact on Loop businesses by residents with an additional $940 million per year in retail gap for retail and service options in the Loop<\/li>\n<li>An average of $18,000 spent in the Loop per Loop household annually<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cThe Chicago Loop Alliance study clearly reveals the importance of residents to the economic health of the Loop,\u201d said Michael Mini, Executive Vice President of Chicagoland Apartment Association. \u201cThe millions of dollars in disposable income are a key driver of the Loop economy, supporting retail, food and beverage, arts and culture, and visitor attractions. The current residential economy is vital to the success of the Loop, but the study reveals there continues to be more opportunity for new businesses to take advantage of nurturing and maintaining residential spending within the Loop.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Chicago Loop Alliance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/loopchicago.com\/es\/\">Chicago Loop Alliance<\/a> (CLA)\u2019s mission is to create, manage and promote positive and inclusive programs that attract people to the Loop and accelerate economic recovery.
