Oh come on lol... We BOTH know that this is not true.
You're telling me that people are hiding inside in South Eola, around Lake Eola (including to the East in Thornton Park) and Baldwin Park???
To answer the question about people, or lack thereof, I think it's safe to assume that the Maps car made its runs during off hours, as there is NEVER any parking available here during the day and into the night, and these businesses are closed:

I worked in that area for years, and it was always very lively during business hours, and at night, and even more so on weekends (actually packed during weekend daytime hours.)
Baldwin Park is a lot more residential, but still very active. Lived there for a year, and I loved to walk to my local Publix, or to the ice cream shop, etc., as the sidewalks/walkways and trail were always busy with others running errands or simply enjoying the outdoors.
I'm not going to act like Orlando is some sort of urban paradise. But anyone familiar enough with the place outside of the tourist areas knows that it has its share of solid urban neighborhoods within the core. It is very similar to Charlotte in this regard.
