The pace of the Columbus region's growth may surprise those who haven't been paying attention as Ohio's capital became the most-dynamic city in the Midwest outside of Chicago.
MORPC in December updated its population estimates for Central Ohio, concluding the 15-county region added 43,000 people in 2018 alone. The region is now projected to grow from 2.4 million people to 3 million by 2050, with that growth centered much more strongly in Franklin County than years past.
