Ohio’s Population Projections 2010-2030

Our Population projections are based on 2010 census data and assumptions about future trends. However, the future composition of a state’s population is influenced by many unpredictable factors including the economic status of the state. Projections far into the future are likely to be less reliable than those in the near future. For this reason, only 2010-2030 projections are available for download; 2035 to 2050 are used in visual presentations to provide a broad overview of population change if current trends continue.

Projections of Ohio’s Population with Physical and/or Cognitive Disability by County, 2010-2030

Our projections of the population with physical and/or cognitive disability are based on our population projections, above, and the estimated prevalence of disability, which measures difficulties in performing Activities of Daily Living (ADL) and requiring the assistance of another person to perform the activity. The inability to perform an ADL could be the result of physical and/or cognitive impairment. The definition of severe disability is matched with meeting Ohio’s Medicaid Intermediate Level of Care, commonly known as nursing home level of care for those with physical and/or cognitive disability (OAC: 5101:3-3-06). For more information about our process of estimating prevalence rates and calculating projected size of the Population with physical and/or cognitive disability you can view (opens in new tab) and/or download the methodology: Estimating Prevalence of Disability.

Projections of Ohio’s Population with Intellectual and/or Developmental Disabilities by County, 2010-2030

Our projections of the population with developmental disability are based on our population projections, above, and the estimated prevalence of disability, defined as having a diagnosis of Intellectual Disability (ID) or Developmental Disability (DD) and needing assistance of another person not only with ADLs but also with communication, independent living, and economic independence. Persons with very low IQ level are considered having severe or profound intellectual disability requiring 24-hour supervision. Again the definition of severe disability employed here is matched with Intermediate Level of Care for people with mental retardation or developmental disabilities (ICFMR) (OAC: 5101:3-3-15.3).

Projections of Ohio’s Population with Mental Illness by County, 2010-2030

Our projections of the population with mental illness are based on our population projections, above, and the estimated prevalence of mental illness from a study conducted jointly by University of Cincinnati, Child Policy Research Center, and Ohio Family Health Survey titled: Mental Health Status, Access to Care, and Service Utilization in Ohio: Trends Related to Insurance, Income, Demographic Characteristics and Physical Health. For more information about our process of employing these prevalence rates and calculating projected size of the Population with mental illness you can view (opens in new tab) and/or download the methodology: Estimating Prevalence of Disability.
