Many of you are counting the days until you graduate from Talawanda and can move away from Oxford & Butler county. But where will you go? Big city or beach? Mountains or wide open spaces? What factors will influence your decision: weather, low taxes, good jobss, no crime?
Despite a marginal increase in Ohio's population over the last decade, the state saw one of the worst declines in its under-18 population nationwide, the Dayton Daily News reports.
That section of the state's population dropped by 157,588, or 5.5 percent, according to the 2010 Census, ranking third in the nation behind New York and Michigan. Driving the decline, officials say, is a flight to “where the jobs are” by parents. The loss of families with kids will leave the state will have a smaller work force and a shrinking tax base, the paper said.
