In 2018, downtown employment had grown 42% since 2012. The 2021 update shows a dip in employment in downtown for the first time since 2013.
In 2022, employers like USAA, closed their downtown offices. While COVID-19 could produce far-reaching implications for downtown in years to come, it is still unclear how it might affect downtown employment and economic impact.

After 12 years of driving progress toward a shared community vision, SA2020, the nonprofit organization, is dissolving. We believe this is the most visionary thing we can do. We made this decision with the greatest care for our organizational values of leadership, community, and accountability, and we hope you’ll read more about it on our blog.
Our website is live with our final data release, showing where San Antonio stands on reaching the shared community vision. The data release is accompanied by our final call to action—a policy agenda for City government based on our unique bird’s-eye view of San Antonio.
While SA2020’s operations ended March 28, these resources, along with the last twelve years of our research and stories, will be available to download from our website through September 2024.
