What is the population of this "greater" downtown?

Downtown proper is 19,000 and 1.8 km2... and the aforementioned publicly perceived "downtown" is around 54,000 as of 2018, on around 5 km2 of land.

Downtown increasingly feels like the areas of the city that have many 24/7 establishments and condo towers with many restaurants opening weekly. Streets like Queen West, King West, Spadina, Adelaide and Richmond, Yorkville, Church Street. Dundas and Ossington, Kensington Market, Bloor and Bathurst, Queen East feel like midtown. At the moment Yonge Street is majority a construction site so it feels weirdly suburban.
