On December 1, United Way of Greater Cincinnati hosted a program titled “Demographics Forum: Strategic View of Our Region’s Changing Demographics for Nonprofit and Civic Organizations.” The keynote speaker, Dr. Warren Brown of Cornell University, covered multiple topics related to the demographic composition of the Cincinnati region, including our age composition and how it compares to the United States as a whole.
In the course of his talk, Dr. Brown went on to display a few charts depicting age composition for the Cincinnati metro area and selected counties from the 2010 Census, as well as the two previous national headcounts. The charts showed a dynamic picture of population change and aging over the past two decades. In this post, I want to review those charts while examining some other jurisdictions in the metro area, and adding some commentary.
