Assessment of Community: Functional Health Patterns Columbus is currently a flourishing city with an ever-changing landscape in its central business area. Columbus, Ohio, is the 15th largest city in the United States. The city has an estimated population of 892,533, with a population density of 3,829 per square mile.
