What the data says about Columbus
Columbus has grown 3.0% since 2020 — faster than most places its size. New residents mean new apartments, and new apartments mean demand for convenient laundry.
Laundry is one of the few household chores that cannot move online. That makes a well-run neighbourhood laundromat a recurring, local habit.
First read: street stores plus apartment buildings
