    It is obvious there is a large student population surrounding Ohio State in what is called the University District. But living among the undergraduate and graduate students are also non-Ohio State students who have lived in the area for many years.

    According to the Center for Urban & Regional Analysis, the University District is defined as the area around OSU, bounded by the Glen Echo Ravine on the north, the Conrail tracks on the east, Fifth Avenue on the south and the Olentangy River on the west.

    According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2000, there were 33,089 people living in the 43201 zip code. Those between the ages 20-24 were the largest portion of the population with 14,965 people. Those who were 60 and older accounted for 1,282 people.

    Pasquale Grado, president of the University District Organization, said there are about 46,500 people currently living in the University District, making it the most densely populated area in the state of Ohio.

    “It is comparable to the size of Springfield or Marion, Ohio,” he said.
