The Issues in Ohio
Ohio is the home of nearly 12M residents, a rich history of firsts and a proud collection of ethnicity and diversity in its 88 counties. According to the Census ACS 1-year survey, the median household income for Ohio was $51,075 in 2015. The state ranks 36th or 29.3% for college degrees. Yet we still advocate for basic needs for more than 60% residents Ohioans still live below the federal poverty level.
