I’ve noticed here over the past few decades malls are closing but it started with the poorer (downtown) malls in the 90s and are closing almost perfectly along economic lines.
There are still some malls but the ones thriving seem to be fairly affluent, with Nordstrom & Coach stores. All the “middle class” malls look increasingly vacant and liminal, and the “poor” malls already closed.
