OKC MAPS PROJECTS – 25 YEARS
Downtown Study Area – Demographic Profile Because many of the MAPS projects to date focus on revitalization and development of downtown, the report seeks to evaluate demographic and economic changes in the downtown market area. Downtown has undergone significant change since the onset of the initial MAPS programs and is currently experiencing accelerated development traced to MAPS 3. Downtown Study Area Figure 2 illustrates the general downtown market area encompassing most of the MAPS spending. This defined region is commonly used by both the city and related entities to describe the current footprint of the broader downtown Oklahoma City market. The study area captures the location of most downtown MAPS spending as well as other major public spending initiatives targeted at the downtown market. The 4.41 square mile area is generally bordered by Western Avenue to the west, 13th Street to the north, I-35/235 and Lottie Avenue to the east, and the Oklahoma River to the south Figure 2.
