Everything seems to be as expected, with the exception that half of Ohio's major metros have been growing since 2010, and Cleveland's barely lost at all last year, which may indicate the bleeding is stopping. Only 2 metros grew between 2000-2010, Columbus and Cincinnati. Dayton had a down year, but if you go since 2010, that would be 5 of Ohio's 8 major metros have grown since then. Domestic migration continues to be the biggest source of population loss.

The city of Cincinnati is driving Hamilton county growth.

Yeah, definitely. While city estimates won't be out until May, it's probably pretty safe to say that Cincinnati is growing now and has been for the past few years. Good to see that recovery there.

So sad to see Mahoning County (Greater Youngstown) continuing on its precipitous slide downwards. We live in Pittsburgh and frequent the area for day-tripping opportunities because there's just so much to see and do there at a very budget-friendly price-point. The Butler Institute (free) is one of the finest art museums I've ever been in (outside of New York City). Youngstown State University has a great campus; we actually just took a day-trip there on Tuesday for Jamba Juice. The Millcreek MetroParks systems is fantastic, especially Fellows Riverside Gardens and the Lanternman's Mill. There's minor-league sports, VERY low traffic congestion (it felt like we were the only ones on I-680), ample shopping opportunities in Boardman, and great recreational opportunities within easy reach of the entire metropolitan area.

We love visiting the White House Fruit Farm near Canfield. Poland is another quaint little town in the county. With a location about an hour from either Pittsburgh or Cleveland (and about six hours from either New York City or Chicago) it just blows my mind that Greater Youngstown is continuing to implode in on itself.

Why?

Youngstown is losing population, but I still think it's doing better than it has now than at any point in the recent past.

I'm going over past growth/loss rates now to see how they're changing over time. I'll post them here, but I think you're right. I think just about all the metros are doing better than before.

I don't know exact stats, but everything I've heard seems to suggest the decline is slowing and some adding jobs is starting to accelerate. Having been to downtown Ytown over Christmas, I was pretty suprised to see how much better it looked (it had been probably 4 years since I had been downtown). Granted, that's one area. The neighborhoods more around my relative's house over that way still have visible abandonded houses and various other buildings. But overall, it was much better than I remebered.

Looking forward to the stats there.
