How to read this map

Median price is the middle sale price of homes in a neighborhood, restricted to a trailing three-year window. We restrict by sale date on purpose: an unfiltered “last sale price” mixes a 1998 sale with a 2025 one and paints a picture of the past, not today’s market. The default is the 2023–2025 cohort; switch to 2020–2022 to see the earlier window. We count arm’s-length sales only — those above $5,000 — to drop the $0 and $1 family transfers, quitclaims, and sheriff deeds that aren’t real market prices. We also leave out a sale that six or more parcels record with the same date, price and buyer: it’s one deed for a portfolio or a whole complex, so its price isn’t one home’s.

Price change is the difference between the two cohorts’ medians — two complete three-year windows, so it’s a like-for-like read of where prices climbed the most (or softened). Sales velocity is the share of homes that changed hands in the last three years — how much of the housing stock is turning over, which is often a sharper read of market heat than the price level itself. It leaves out the same bulk deeds. The drawer shows each neighborhood’s median year built and the number of sales behind the figure.

Source: Franklin County Auditor parcel data (city open data), refreshed on the parcel ingest. Only Columbus neighborhoods are shown; the Auditor file is county-wide, so most suburbs fall outside the canvas. Neighborhood boundaries are the City of Columbus’s Columbus Communities planning areas (CC0, as of July 23, 2026). The City notes they aren’t a substitute for area commission boundaries. They include some land outside the city limits: township pockets and two small villages, Minerva Park and Valleyview. See methodology for boundary and suppression details. Neighborhoods with too few recent sales show as “insufficient data” rather than a noisy median.
