CBD within the Urban Core Central Business District (CBD) is an
economic concept, not necessarily a demographic concept
Important symbiotic relationship between the CBD and its nearby neighborhoods
“Urban Core”: The CBD, as well as the close-in/adjacent neighborhoods
Primary focus on indicators that suggest high quality of place in the urban core – these include age, educational attainment, income, and homeownership

Summary Louisville ranks highly among peer cities in total
population and housing units in the urban core
Strong urban core neighborhoods that contribute to the vitality of the CBD (Old Louisville, Highlands, Clifton)
However, the city lags behind peers on many quality of place indicators
Since 2000, small population loss in the urban core, but increased housing units and significant positive change in educational attainment and young populations
