In 2010, 4 Columbus metro communities were in the top 30.  By last year, 6 were, with more poised to enter the list in the coming years.  This represents the Columbus region’s growing influence in the state and how its share of the state’s population continues to increase.

2018 to 2019, Columbus had 12 cities in the top 30, a lower number than the average of the decade. This is not necessarily indicating a slowdown in growth within the metro, however. The final year before a decennial census, population estimates tend to be used for final adjustments. This means that if a city is thought to have been estimated too high or too low through the decade, the final estimate year is adjusted accordingly and not necessarily according to true growth. The point of estimates is to get a snapshot of the population at the time of the estimate, but they are constantly being changed every time a new estimate comes out. This usually leaves the final estimate year as showing the slowest growth. This was true for 2008-2009 as well.

Finally, here is every Columbus Metro community ranked and the population change 2010-2019.

The Census has begun releasing 2019 population data, which will be the final data before we get the official, decennial census statistics for 2020. With Covid-19 ravaging the world and United States at the moment, it remains to be seen what effects it might have on the census counts, or if the official census may even end up delayed. While we wait for those issues to resolve, here are the estimated populations of Ohio’s counties on July 1, 2019, and the change from past estimates.
