Columbus Downtown Making a “Comeback”
According to a new list/study looking at booming downtown areas in the United States — Columbus is among the top cities making the biggest efforts to revitalize their city centers.
To find downtowns that are “rising from the grave”, their data team considered several factors for downtowns in the 200 largest U.S. cities:
- Downtown residential population growth since 2012
- Number of restaurants, bars, grocery stores and food trucks per capita, and growth since 2012
- Number of department stores and independent retailers per capita, and growth since 2012
- Number of jobs per capita, and growth since 2012
- Home price appreciation since 2012
- “Premium” of buying a home in downtown, compared with the median home price of the whole city
- Residential and commercial vacancy rate (the lower the better).
Coming in at #5 is our quaint city, Columbus. To check out the full list, click here.
