Because that’s a super small area that’s nearly entirely commercial, as opposed to some of the broader definitions of other city’s downtown areas. Semantics, really. As the other poster said, if you included The Pearl and Goose Hollow areas, which in most cities would probably be considered part of “downtown”, the numbers would increase dramatically.
