No. There are barely local definitions, depending on the place.

I can't think of another reason why it would drop. There isn't much housing in that tract...yet.
I wonder if you counted the tracts west of downtown and around USC?

I used a 25 census-tract definition. I'd go with 20 at first, to respect freeway limits and Alameda St., but I'd left out areas that it's usually regarded as Downtown, like the Union Station and the west bank of Los Angeles River. So, nothing west or south the freeway loop. Just three ones north of the loop (because Union Station), but leaving Chinatown out.
And I'm using City Population as source, because it's much easier to navigate on it.
