Yeah X, if you really wanted to post some facts with no point, you'd post that Columbus had a 22k population gain in two years, while Cleveland and Cincinnati continue to undergo population loss.

It's kind of sad you imply that certain immigrants aren't worth anything.

Speaking from experience, OSU students definitely can be pretty worthless.

Actually, compared to a lot of major metros in the U.S., none of the Ohio cities are very diverse.
Wow thanks! People from columbus and cleveland always made their city sound like it was 2% white and 90% asian but now that i am looking at it cincinnati is just as diverse as cleveland and columbus.

Those aren't city numbers, those are metro numbers, which *would* be the most similar because the majority-white suburbs and rural areas of the metros would dilute the much more diverse cities.

Here are the 2010 city percentage of total population for Ohio's 6 largest cities, going from most to least diverse for each group, and also their 2000-2010 % changes.

Non-Hispanic White
Cleveland: 33.4% (-26%)
Cincinnati: 48.1% (-17.5%)
Dayton: 50.5% (-17%)
Columbus: 59.3% (-1.1%)
Akron: 61.2% (-16.7%)
Toledo: 61.4% (-16.6%)

Non-Hispanic Black
Cleveland: 52.5% (-13.2%)
Cincinnati: 44.6% (-6.6%)
Dayton: 42.6% (-14.3%)
Akron: 31.2% (-0.7%)
Columbus: 27.7% (+27%)
Toledo: 26.7% (+3.4%)

Non-Hispanic Asian
Columbus: 4.1% (+43.9%)
Akron: 2.1% (+45.1%)
Cincinnati: 1.8% (+20.8%)
Cleveland: 1.8% (-20.3%)
Toledo: 1.1% (+6.6%)
Dayton: 0.8% (+20.6%)

Hispanic
Cleveland: 10.0% (+4.4%)
Toledo: 7.4% (+23.8%)
Columbus: 5.6% (+149.2%)
Dayton: 3.0% (+53.0)
Cincinnati: 2.8% (+113.0%)
Akron: 2.1% (+68.6%)

Foreign-Born
Columbus: 11.0% (+81.6%)
Cincinnati: 5.6% (+32.7%)
Cleveland: 4.5% (-17.0%)
Akron: 4.3% (+23.3%)
Toledo: 4.0% (+22.0%)
Dayton: 3.6% (+57.2%)

So as far as the 3-Cs go in 2010, Cleveland has the highest Black and Hispanic populations while Columbus had the highest Asian and White populations. Columbus had the highest foreign-born population as well, which could be any race or ethnicity. Cleveland is doing the worst long-term as far as how diversity within the city is changing, Columbus the best, Cincinnati in the middle.

I'm pretty sure your Asian population figures for Cleveland are incorrect.

I would also say qualifying people as "white" and "hispanic" and "asian" is a horrible way to measure diversity and doesn't actually say much. Can be very misleading. Our "white" people are made up of a huge number of ethnicities. By the same token, our "hispanic" population is really just Puerto Rican and pretty much nobody else, not even very many Mexicans. This is not a good way to look at diversity of a city. Sometimes census information can be surprisingly useless.
