This booklet consists almost entirely of demographic data on Ohio presented in the form of charts and graphs. The information, for the most part, focuses on the period from 1980 to 1987 and is categorized into five sections: Population, Households, Families and Health; Employment; Income and Taxes; and Miscellaneous Ohio Information. Much of the data throughout the book is organized by county. Topic areas include: percent population change; turnaround counties, 1970-1980 and 1980-1987; percent net migration; annual average crude birth rate; population under 18; population over 50; and median age. A brief analysis indicates Ohio's population has remained relatively steady since 1980, with declines in core metropolitan counties and growth in fringe metropolitan counties. The household section includes information on numbers of households, marriages, divorces, live births, deaths, and causes of death. The employment section shows unemployment rates, average total employed in 1987, percentage of change, and several types of data on farming. Among other data the income section shows average weekly earnings; median household effective buying income; percent households below $10,000 income; state government revenues per capita; Ohio state rankings for tax collections; the federal, state, and local tax burden; revenue sources and expenditures; and taxable general tangible personal property. The miscellaneous section offers information on land use in Ohio since 1900, National Park and Forest Service areas, outdoor recreation facilities, physiographic regions, and rural zoning. There is a glossary and an information form for the user. (TES)
