State of
the County Report: Housing
The changes in demographics, economics, and the political aspects of
Hamilton County have impacted the character of housing and the health of its
neighborhoods. This report examines Hamilton County’s trends in the demand
and supply for market-rate, public, and “affordable” housing as well as the
impact of such trends on people of different racial and ethnic backgrounds,
different incomes, and different household configurations.

State of
the County Report: Education
As a whole, Hamilton County’s public school districts provide good
opportunities for students to receive an education and prepare for college
or careers. By many measures, Hamilton County schools operate on par with
school districts in Ohio’s other large urban counties. Significant
challenges emerging from countywide population loss, socioeconomic and
demographic changes, mandates from state and federal government, and the
need for schools to increasingly become an active partner in
community-building need to be successfully overcome in order for our schools
to continue to prosper. Policymakers and education professionals have to
deal with a complex mixture of race, socio-economics, academic performance,
and community development trends when trying to design a school district and
curriculum that can provide an education to all students. This report
discusses five trends facing our education system and provides data
indicators for measuring progress toward dealing with them.

State of the County Report: Culture and Recreation
The Cincinnati Metropolitan Region has a great wealth of professional arts,
cultural and entertainment organizations. The report shows how recent major
investments in arts, cultural and entertainment are stimulating urban
revitalization for downtown Cincinnati and the steps taken to build on this
revitalization process. The report also presents how recreational
opportunities and facilities are increasing for all age groups throughout

Economic Impacts of Home Improvement Program (HIP)
The Home Improvement Program in Hamilton County provides loans at 3% lower
than market rate to Hamilton County residents. Residents use the loans for
renovating, improving, and making additions to their houses. Using the REMI
model, it can be assessed how much impact the HIP Program has in reducing
population loss. Additionally, REMI can forecast economic gains such as
creation of new jobs both short-term and long-term.
