Here’s a great video of High Street with a Short North drone flyove from 2018. It gives a fantastic view of all the new development built in the last decade along High Street between the Short North and Campus.
To see historic photos of how the Short North used to look, visit the Short North Historic Buildings page to see all sorts of before and after historic photos of the neighborhood.

In the ongoing series discussing topics related to the 2018 Census demographic estimates, today I will update the foreign-born comparison. Beyond the simple comparison, I will also talk about the regions and countries that the foreign-born populations come from.

Here’s the 2010-2018 total change. And the 2010-2018 change by %.
Columbus has done very well in both total and % growth of its foreign-born population since 2010.
So now that we know how many foreign-born immigrants are arriving and how fast, let’s take a look at where they are coming from.

Columbus does the worst with this group, but even here it moved up 5 spots in the rankings.
The rest of the foreign-born population is made up of small groups of people from Oceania- or basically island nations.
