OSUEDC Sample Chart

National Trends Aging population – average life span is 77 First generation immigrants – Hispanics living in the metro. areas Generation Y 1979 to 1994 – large generation will have an effect in the next decade but a shortage of young people will follow Revival of urban living in the next 20 years Peak in U.S. population by 2050 –to about 325 – 350 million so communities will gradually decline

20 th century paradigm… everyone will have job people will retire at 65 people will live in homes, eat one meal there, commute to work social problems will be solved by the government families will be small, on the move, isolated from their extended families

Beyond 2001… a growing number of people will not work for organizations but for themselves partly due to the information revolution end of retirement – longer life span means the need for money as well as productivity

Beyond 2001… homes become centers for work, learning, entertainment and possibly health care – implications for community development End of government solutions for large social problems – who will help solve problems? individuals, families, nonprofits, communities?

Beyond 2001… End of isolated families – industrialization created small, isolated families but the cybereconomy and the lack of government solutions along with an aging population may cause families to become closer, including extended members

Towards Services and Trade

Ohio Trends less rural and more urban large number of metro areas – strength 81% reside in metro. area, 15% micro. area 29 Appalachian counties with unique circumstances – high poverty, low wages, aging population slow population growth out-migration of college educated, young adults

Ohio Trends emergence of rust belt in north central Ohio – loss of manufacturing jobs 65 years and older, Ohio 13.3% in 2000, U.S. 12.4% in 2000, Ohio gained 7.2% from

Areas for Extension to Consider less small to medium farms may mean more concentration on value-added agricultural products more interest in travel and tourism issues programming around entrepreneurship issues shift in paradigms from ag. to industrial to service, trade, technology and knowledge paradigms will need different workers with different skills – workforce development

Areas for Extension to Consider aging population may require different programs appropriate for their needs such as nutrition classes to minimize the effects of obesity educating local leaders on business retention and expansion with an emphasis on their local economies first locating audiences via GIS mapping for various types of programs

North District Metro areas – strong point Rural Population – mostly urban Population Chg. – medina, geauga, lorain, portage, wayne, huron, lake, ashland above state average Migration – medina, geauga, portage, wayne ashland, huron, ashtabula all gained Median Income – medium to high

North District PIPC –high Bachelor’s and higher – high Unemployment – an issue Female HH – ashtabula, trumbull, mahoning, cuyahoga, summit, stark, lorain, richland, erie, marion poverty – problem areas

North District 65 and over – 15 counties above state average Projected Population – medina, wayne, geauga, ashland, lorain, huron above the state average
