By the end of the war, however, urban areas were in decline; Paterson was no exception.

By 1983, Paterson was the fifth poorest city in the United States. The town that had called itself Silk City, the Iron City, and the Cotton City, was in economic ruin”.<a href="#cite_note-44">[44]</a> Once millwork and production left the city, Paterson’s poverty became reminiscent of what occurred in the towns surrounding the Appalachian Mountains once the coal mining industry ended. In 2020, 25.2% of Paterson residents lived in poverty.<a href="#cite_note-Census2020-11">[11]</a> Competition from malls in upscale neighboring towns like <a href="/wiki/Wayne,_New_Jersey" title="Wayne, New Jersey">Wayne</a> and <a href="/wiki/Paramus,_New_Jersey" title="Paramus, New Jersey">Paramus</a> forced large chain stores out of Paterson's downtown. With the decline of the city's industrial base, small businesses became the city's most prominent businesses. But the city still attracts many immigrants, who have revived its economy, especially through small businesses.<a href="#cite_note-45">[45]</a>[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:NOTRS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:NOTRS">better source needed</a>] The downtown area has been struck by massive fires several times, most recently on January 17, 1991. In this fire, almost an entire city block was engulfed in flames due to an electrical fire in the basement of a bar at 161 Main Street.<a href="#cite_note-46">[46]</a> Firefighter John A. Nicosia lost his life in the fire.<a href="#cite_note-47">[47]</a> A plaque honoring his memory was later placed on a wall near the area.

Many artists live in this section of Paterson. A major redevelopment project is planned for this district in the coming years.

After a devastating fire in 1902, the city rebuilt the downtown with massive <a href="/wiki/Beaux-Arts_architecture" title="Beaux-Arts architecture">Beaux-Arts-style</a> buildings, many of which remain to this day. These buildings are usually four to seven stories tall. Downtown Paterson is home to <a href="/wiki/Paterson_City_Hall" title="Paterson City Hall">Paterson City Hall</a> and the Passaic County Courthouse Annex, two of the city's architectural landmarks.
