The Community's Conversation Columbus Eviction Rates Are Headed in the Wrong DirectionIn 2023, Columbus saw nearly 24,000 eviction filings, marking a 12,000-case increase from the previous year. Early 2024 data shows this trend worsening, with evictions reaching a 20-year high in Franklin County. Across Ohio, landlords initiated almost 108,000 eviction cases in 2023 — the highest since 2015. A major driver behind the surge is sluggish wage growth, which isn't keeping pace with skyrocketing rents. The "housing wage" — what a worker needs to earn per hour to afford a two-bedroom apartment — rose 9% since last year. To afford such a home, full-time workers need an hourly wage of at least $20.81. In Columbus, however, this figure climbs even h...

The Community's Conversation Zone In: The Proposed Zoning Overhaul That Will Reshape ColumbusA proposed major overhaul of Columbus' 70-year-old zoning code will bring big changes to Columbus. If passed, the new code will dramatically reshape parts of the city by unlocking current density and height restrictions, allow more mixed-use developments, and much more. Proponents argue a zoning code overhaul is critical to help Columbus fix its worsening housing crisis, while opponents worry that the proposal could bring about a loss of control over new development in established neighborhoods, or even the loss of historic buildings. The proposed overhaul could allow for 88,000 new housing units along key city corridors, impacting 12,300 parcels. The...

And yet, based on today's full-time, year-round wage gap, women entering the workforce stand to lose $398,160 over the course of a 40-year career. This "lifetime wage gap" exists across the country: in every state, women's career losses based on today's wage gap would amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars—and in 12 states women's career losses would amount to m...
