North 4th Street Corridor Planning Area Land Area, Population,
Housing Units and Employment by Subareas: 2004
Total employment is shown at 10,719. (Note: minor variations are due to computational error). This represents 2.5% of total employment in the metropolitan area. By subareas, the highest employment is closest to Downtown Albuquerque, with 5,800 employees south of I-40, just over half the total number of employees in the corridor. Employment in the Bernalillo County and Federal Courthouses make up a dominant share of jobs in the southern-most subarea, extending from south of Lomas Boulevard to Mountain Road.
The following table shows employment by land use category. A little over half of the employment in the planning area is retail and mixed commercial, while 20% is large-scale office and 21% is industrial and wholesale. The intensity of employees/acre varies from an average of 101 office employees/acre to an average of 9 industrial and wholesale employees/acre.
