Renting in Columbia
A Columbia-specific median rent figure was not independently verified to a single confirmed source this research pass -- disclosed here as a real gap rather than estimated, though Columbia's meaningfully lower median household income ($63,719) versus Spring Hill's ($112,013) suggests a more budget-oriented rental market.

A likely more budget-oriented rental market than Spring Hill
Columbia's lower median household income ($63,719 vs. Spring Hill's $112,013) and lower housing costs generally suggest a rental market skewed toward more budget-oriented units relative to Spring Hill -- a reasonable inference from the base record's demographic data, not an independently sourced rental-market statistic.
A real, historic housing stock in the downtown core
Columbia's historic downtown -- one of Tennessee's first five Main Street communities, in a county with the highest concentration of antebellum houses in Tennessee -- likely includes a real mix of older, historic rental housing stock alongside newer construction farther from the core, though a specific, sourced breakdown of that mix was not independently confirmed this pass.
