2020 Census data: What it means for Ohio Bonnie Meibers
Ohio’s slow growth rate means it will lose a Congressional seat, which local leaders and experts said could affect funding for programs at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and the state’s role in presidential elections.
Ohio’s population is 11.8 million ― a 2.3% increase from the last census ― according to the 2020 Census released Monday. The slow population growth will cause the state to go from 16 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives to 15. Ohio is among six states that will lose Congressional seats.
Losing a Congressional seat will further decrease Ohio’s political power in the federal government and continue a trend of dropping seats in the House, said Christopher Devine, assistant professor of political science at the University of Dayton.
