Report: Columbus holding its own amid recession

Good to know. Our real estate market should rebound before other markets in Ohio
Columbus is feeling the sting of the recession like any other metropolitan area in the nation, but a new report indicates it’s holding up better than other big cities in Ohio
The report placed the Columbus metropolitan statistical area 40th among those ranked for its strength
No other Ohio city made the top 50. Cincinnati, Cleveland, Akron and Dayton found slots from 61st to 80th. Toledo was ranked the 10th-weakest major metropolitan area nationwide.
