What’s Different?
The Columbus OH, riots differ from all of the previous “Riot Damage” reports. Almost all of the recorded riot damage happened squarely in between two large sets of Opportunity Zones. Note that the greater majority of the damage was apparently done to upscale businesses as well as Public Sector assets. Also note: Columbus does not have a Fed branch; Cleveland does.
The intensity and duration of the Columbus riots were much less. Hostilities commenced on or about May 28th (see Live USA Map in Sources: link below).
What’s the Same?
Rioters targeted Public Sector assets, police departments, courts, etc. Independent businesses, as always, were hit hard. We used the Columbus Dispatch’s property damage list, where they documented all of the damaged real estate (like our original Minneapolis Riot map).
