About 80,600 households live in Columbus. About two thirds of the homes are detached houses and about half the occupied homes are lived in by their owners. Half the homes were built before 1978. With that many rentals, a tree at a rented home usually goes to the landlord or property manager first; the lease generally says who arranges and pays for tree work.
