- Why would anyone want to live here? Columbus, Georgia is looking pretty rough in these areas. High in violent crime, not so great schools, and with over a 22% poverty level, you may want to rethink that move. Although the cost of living is lower than much of the surrounding areas, amenities are few and long commutes are common. Population is around 202,957 as of 2023, down just a little bit from recent years. There's always some nice areas but today we're looking at the worst and most impacted areas. Let's take a drive and check them out!
This area had gotten hammered by tornadoes since the 50s; probably contributed to some of the decline
Quite a few shotgun houses. I bet that hotel was nice in it's day now,.....! Enjoyed the ride! 👍
Most of the homes look like company housing similar to the coal mining towns of Appalachia.
Didn't know Columbus George was a big town till I got into kayaking.i went with some friends there.what amazing fun I had . The waves on the river is like being on a roller-coaster. Anyone who likes kayaking must definitely go there. It was the best fun I had kayaking yet..
I live in Columbus GA. Its a hell hole for sure.
Thanks for the ride.😀
Any time!
Jobs - Jobs - Jobs. They took all the JOBS way
There must have been something going on at one time to warrant all these houses. What business failed and left the area impoverished?
Columbus is right next to Fort Benning.
Columbus, GA was also a big mill town. So alot was worker homes
It used to be a big mill town with lots of manafacturing
Quite a few of those boarded up shotgun houses look livable, but the For Rent sign says a lot, too. Wonder who actually owns all this? The state?
I don't think they are shotgun houses, they're not narrow enough.
ty, love this stuff, history
wow what a messed up area awesome content as always
Thanks so much John!
People don’t take care of the property that they inherited.
Thousands of homeless people, and these houses are pledged to banks...
1st again from ontario canada ottawa here good morning everyone
Hello from your downstairs neighbor! 🙌😂🇺🇲🇨🇦
Great 👍 video 👌 thanks ❤️
I had a relative stationed in Fort Benning (now Fort Moore) near Columbus back in the 60s. I wonder if any of that was Army housing at one time?
yes it was...
Так это для съёмок фильмов ужасов.😂😂😂
"Коламбия пикчерс" представляет.😂😂😂
Was this where they filmed The Walking Dead?
No, but it was filmed in Georgia.
Incrível pouquíssimas pessoas ou quase ninguém nas ruas apenas casas velhas e carros! 🤔🙄🇧🇷
So many shotgun shacks...😢
Looks like a ghost town, some nice little houses too, such a shame...does anyone still live there? if so who?
Sad this country is truly decaying
I grew up in Columbus, just where is this?
@5:22 Those apartments on Rigdon Rd used to be a hotel. It was the only hotel where African Americans could stay. So MLK and Civil Rights leaders used to stay there. Now, the area is rundown sadly.
Everyone moved to ATL for no reason other then trying to be where something is always happening.
doesn´t look like a rich country to me ...
Continue driving to the Northside’ you will as a huge difference money people funding all play a role
So much money left on the table
Harry Crews land

And still standing, wow can I retire to this community
