There have been a lot of updates and additions to the site in the last month.
The Historic Building Database pages now contain more than 1,200 buildings.
A new Local Sports History page has been added under the History tab. It contains information on Columbus’ college, minor and major league sports teams going back to the 19th Century.
The May Weather page has been updated with 2020 data, and records can be viewed back to 1879.
The numerous severe weather pages have all been updated to some degree over the past month or so with more links, events and even videos.
The Demographics and Population pages have been updated with 2019 population data, as well as various information related to income, GDP, housing and more!
Finally, a new Columbus Crime Statistics page has been added under the Demographics and Population tab. You can view total crimes, crime rates and maps going back to 1985.
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 had more European immigrants than most in 2000 and 2018, and was one of the relatively few cities that saw an increase by 2018.

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.
Yesterday, the US Census released tons of new demographic data for 2018. The next few posts will detail some of that data and how Columbus compares to Midwestern and national peers in terms of population, racial diversity and other metrics. These peers are based on either large Midwestern cities or metro areas between 1.5-2.5 million. This post will be a racial diversity comparison, specifically.

Previous peers, such as San Antonio, Charlotte and Orlando were removed as their metros are now larger than the 2.5 million comparison limit. Jacksonville, Florida entered the comparison with a metro population of just over 1.5 million in 2018. Smaller Ohio cities like Dayton, Akron, Canton and Youngstown, which are normally compared, did not have this data available.

Now that we can see all the numbers, what is the 2018 ranking of most to least racially diverse? To find out, I assigned points by the ranking of % of population, so #1 of a particular ranking would get 1 point, the next 2 points and so on. The cities with the fewest points are the most diverse. Here are the rankings for both 2010 and 2018.
