Tracking the over-60 crowd

It’s no secret that our state has a growing population aged 60 and over. There are 88 counties in Ohio and by 2020, research says that in 69 of these counties, 1 in 4 residents will be over the age of 60. By 2050, the trend will grow to 83 counties.

Research by Ohio-Population.org is helping policymakers, community planners and researchers better understand Ohio’s demographic trends. You can download data, view interactive maps and find other resources to begin preparing your community for this population trend. See how your community is likely to change in the coming decades.
