The Loop still feels much quieter than it used to, but I feel like Fulton Market is very active, as is Streeterville, and River North seems reasonably active, though less than it used to be. I was just curious if Fulton Market, Streeterville, or River North are being excluded from these stats?

Yes, the Loop Alliance report is just tracking State State pedestrians using counters from Ida B. Wells to Wacker, and hotel figures are averaged from 15 Loop hotels.
So, you are correct River North, Fulton Market, Streeterville are
not included in the data.
Basically, the data says that the Loop Proper recovered to about 70% of its previous marks, while other neighborhoods not being as dependent on offices should be near full recovery.
