Ohio Population Research

Ohio’s Changing Population

Ohio is the seventh most populous state, but its population is projected to decline by nearly 6% over the next 30 years. The population composition of the state is shifting older: by 2030, more than 1 in 4 Ohioans will be age 60 and older.

The Scripps Gerontology Center researches aging and disability-related population trends in Ohio to inform planning, policy, and economic development at the state and county level. We’re here to help you understand and visualize how Ohio’s older population will change over the next several decades at the state and county levels. With good information, communities can plan for their projected populations of older persons and persons with a disability.

Resources on this website include:

  • State and county-level population data and projections
  • Maps of Ohio’s projected older population from 2020-2050
  • Reports on the 65+ population for each of Ohio’s 88 counties
  • Frequently asked questions about Ohio’s population trends, projection data, and methodology

Methodology

Where do your data come from?

Population Projections

The population data and projections for 2020– 2050 are from Ohio Department of Development, Office of Research.

These data contain updated population projections, by age and sex, for the state of Ohio and its 88 counties, for five-year intervals through the year 2050. This projection series was produced to align the Ohio projections with the most recent population estimates issued by the U.S. Census Bureau and with the demographic changes that occurred between 2010 and 2020, and accounts for individuals in group quarters housing (such as college dormitories and correctional facilities). Please find more details at https://development.ohio.gov/about-us/research/population

State- and county-level population characteristics

Many of Ohio's counties have relatively small population sizes. Over half of the counties in Ohio have fewer than 65,000 people (the threshold for single-year representative data). To have a large enough sample size to give accurate estimates at the county-level requires multiple years of data collection. The data labeled 2018-2022 is an average of data collected between January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2022. For simplicity, in the county reports, we refer to this as 2020 data, but it is actually collected during this five-year period. See the ACS website for more details.

How are the population projections calculated?

Please see the Ohio Development Services Agency for detailed information at https://dam.assets.ohio.gov/image/upload/development.ohio.gov/research/pop1/State-of-Ohio-Population-Projections-Report-2023.pdf
