Posted March 23, 200718 yr This is the Dayton Daily News take on the new census population estimates. Although discussed somewhat already at UO, I offer this as sort of a content comparison to the Enquirer spin on the issue...this is the Dayton spin, and also note the DDN "regional" emphasis vs. the "Cincinnati-centric" angle the Enquirer put on the story. In the print version of the DDN this was not on the front page but buried in the local section. I like Joe Tuss' dispassionate take on the issue..."thats the trend, folks"... Population Still Streaming Out of Montogomery, Hamilton Warren and Butler are big winners in the population sweepstakes as people continue migration to exurbs. By Ken McCall Staff Writer Thursday, March 22, 2007 www.daytondailynews.com DAYTON — People continued to move out of Montgomery and Hamilton counties — the two urban cores in this corner of the state — and flocked to the exurbs during the 12 months ending July 1, 2006, new Census data show. Warren and Butler counties continued to be the big winners, according to population estimates released today by the Census Bureau. Although Warren County's population growth slowed for the second straight year, it was still the second-fastest growing county in the state, adding 5,078 people, or 2.6 percent, to its population. For the decade so far, Warren County ranked 80th with its 26.8 percent population growth rate among the 2,442 U.S. counties with more than 10,000 people. For more information, click the above link. The interesting thing in the charts is the relativley low growth in Greene County, which I thought was booming, too, and in Miami County
March 23, 200718 yr Does the DDN not realize that Hamilton and Montgomery are SW Ohio cities as well? How about some clarity!
March 23, 200718 yr Perhaps you missed the first line of the article??? DAYTON — "People continued to move out of Montgomery and Hamilton counties"
March 23, 200718 yr What stands out to me is the different approach the Dayton Daily News takes on the story over the Cincinnati Enquirer. They laid out the numbers but didn't add the typical bias that we have come to expect from the Enquirer.
March 24, 200718 yr ^ The article was filler. They didn't do much analyses of the numbers. ...as in "where did the Montogomery County people go?" . Yet one could see a healine on "Montgomery County 3rd Larges Drop in Ohio" or something like that. What i though was interesting is the article specifcially mentioned Hamilton County (though the charts don't) and the "Southwest Ohio" spin. And the low growth in Greene, which seems to be booming, too.
March 25, 200718 yr Perhaps you missed the first line of the article??? DAYTON "People continued to move out of Montgomery and Hamilton counties" Sure, I knew before the first line, but still, for people who just read headlines for certain things (like me for most), some clarity wouldn't hurt, especially online where space isn't an issue.
