Downtown and the surrounding area in the south end is mainly administrative and poor housing, it probably accounts for less than 5% of the city's GDP. The north core is mainly tourism, and it has the casino, so that would be close to 10-15%, I think. The industrial waterfront and intercity make up at least 60% combined.

The problem with "downtown and the surrounding area" is that both downtowns blend almost seamlessly into Intercity (Which is, "officially", the CBD) so our "downtown" is huge and the "surrounding area" is pretty much the whole city. :/ It's hard to calculate, and I don't even know what the actual GDP for the city is, though I am sure I read that we get 7$B from tourism every year.
