District Four
District 4 covers the North Linden, South Linden, North Central and East Columbus planning areas, much of Northland and the eastern edge of the University District. It runs from East Dublin-Granville Road (State Route 161) south to the Ohio State Fairgrounds area, and Stelzer Road forms part of its border with District 9.
Columbus City Council District 4 is represented by Council Member Emmanuel V. Remy, appointed to council in 2018 and first elected in 2019. Under the current system, every Columbus voter helps elect all nine district seats.

Compared to Columbus
Where District Four ranks among all nine districts. The dot is District Four; the line marks Columbus as a whole (the Census Bureau’s citywide figure).
Race & ethnicity
Households
Household counts are ACS 5-year estimates aggregated from the district's block groups. The tick marks the citywide family-household share.
About these figures. District totals are aggregated from census block groups. Median income, rent, and home value are pooled medians interpolated from block-group distribution tables. The Columbus marks for those medians, unemployment, and race and household shares are the Census Bureau’s published figures for the whole city. All are ACS 5-year survey estimates, so treat small gaps as within the margin of error. See full methodology →
