Commercial corridor vitality

What’s open along Columbus’s main-street corridors — and what’s vacant? Each dot is a storefront, colored by what it is; corridors are outlined; flagged vacancies are ringed in red. Search your address to find your corridor, or click one to see its mix.

How to read this map

Each corridor is a stretch of main street the city tracks for commercial activity. The dots inside are storefronts, colored by category — food & drink, retail, services, or other. Toggle a category in the legend to focus on it. Storefronts ringed in red are structures flagged through city code and 311 as vacant and in disrepair. Click a corridor to see its full category mix in the drawer.

Storefront points come from OpenStreetMap and are densest along the busiest corridors (the Short North and Downtown High Street) and thinner elsewhere, so a sparse corridor reflects data coverage as much as street life. Corridor boundaries are approximate envelopes until the city’s Title 33 corridor shapefiles are imported.
