2025 Ohio city population estimates

The US Census has released 2025 city population estimates. Let’s look at at how both national and Ohio cities have changed.

Keep in mind, as always, that these are just estimates and are subject to much wider swings and errors compared to decennial census data.

First up, here is Ohio’s data.

It is highly unlikely that any of the Columbus suburbs listed as losing population actually did, especially when all of them were seeing decent growth over the previous decade. It would make little sense that Columbus is growing strongly, but it’s inner suburbs, especially ones with high quality of housing and conditions, would be losing population. We’ll have to wait several more years to get a thorough count, though.

There used to be 101 places, but 2- Orient and Rendville- have lost incorporated status since 2020.
What is interesting about the estimates is that many very small villages and towns are estimated to have seen relatively strong growth while some major suburbs shows significant declines. Again, that is unlikely, as there would be little logical reason for rural places with few jobs or infrastructure to be seeing steady growth. What is most likely occurring is that the Ohio population change total for the period is being distributed in a way that favors smaller, rural places regardless of their condition or long-term population trends.

The East Broad Street Boulevard

Posted on by

This collection of photos from the 1920s show the East Broad Street Boulevard. Modeled after European cities like Paris, the boulevard featured tree-lined medians that separated parked vehicles and a slower drive lane from the main traffic lanes. The boulevard, also known as the Broad Street Parkway, was in place for many years until it was ultimately removed beginning in 1932. The decision to remove the medians was to widen Broad to facilitate more car traffic.
