Columbus Population
The Columbus MSA, which includes a county in Alabama, reached nearly 294,000 residents in the 2010 Census. However, state population forecasters are expecting the area to add more than twice as many new residents by 2015 as it did during the entire decade of the 2000s. If those growth prognostications materialize, the Columbus MSA will surge 9.3 percent to more than 320,000 residents.
