ESI in partnership with The North Broad Renaissance (NBR), released the 2021 State of North Broad report, which highlights demographics and development within the North Broad census tracts, and the impacts the COVID-19 pandemic had on the corridor.
According to the 2021 State of North Broad report, North Broad Street performs the core roles of anchoring adjacent neighborhoods throughout North Central Philadelphia, supporting businesses and community mainstays, and connecting residents to entertainment, retail, and jobs. The North Broad Renaissance will use the data in this year’s report to help create equitable and inclusive development along North Broad Street, which includes strategically attracting and helping to retain Black and brown businesses along the corridor.
