Hilltop (W Broad St) corridor — Storefront Scout snapshot

Civic Worth's Hilltop corridor follows W Broad Street on the city's west side. Its Storefront Scout page tracks 311 vacant-structure complaints, building permits and mapped storefront businesses in and around the corridor.

Civic Worth's Hilltop corridor follows W Broad Street's commercial frontage, mostly inside the Greater Hilltop Area Commission's boundary. Its polygon is an approximate rectangle that also takes in the surrounding blocks, so by parcel count its Title 33 zoning is mostly the R4 residential district. The corridor page reports three measures: vacant-structure complaints filed with Columbus 311 inside the polygon over the trailing 12 months, building permits issued within 150 meters of it by year (City of Columbus Building & Zoning Services), and storefront businesses mapped in OpenStreetMap. The 311 figure counts complaints, not confirmed vacancies, and OpenStreetMap is volunteer-mapped, so its business count may be incomplete. The figures update as the sources do; check the corridor page for current numbers before quoting them. A fuller corridor report is available on request from that page. The corridor page is at civicworth.com/storefront-scout/hilltop-w-broad-corridor.
