With a metropolitan area population of over 2 million people, Columbus is anything but a small town. Comparable in size to more well-known cities such as Las Vegas, Charlotte, and San Antonio, Columbus has all the amenities, opportunities, and events that one would expect from a major city. Great restaurants, a thriving art scene, distinctive neighborhoods, a bustling nightlife, and abundant shopping are all integral to giving Columbus that "big city" atmosphere. Yet in many ways, Columbus retains that "small town" feel. You'll find that, despite its size, Columbus is easy to get around, incredibly affordable, and populated by friendly, outgoing people.

Columbus is a dynamic 11-county metropolitan area in unprecedented economic growth. The thriving 11-county area in Central Ohio isn't just home to 2.2 million people.
