In March 2025, GOPC produced Current Conditions Reports on Warren/Trumbull County and Youngstown/Mahoning County for the Raymond John Wean Foundation.
In light of recent additional analysis conducted by the Foundation, GOPC re-reviewed the reports and determined that using 2020 Census data did not give the best full picture of how the Mahoning Valley is performing across the selected indicators.
GOPC dug into the data and made revisions. With the revisions come some adjusted headlines. Luckily, most of the revisions are about adjusting the degree of progress. As in, positive progress has been made, just not as dramatically as was reported in March. There are a few areas where the revisions contradict what was reported previously.
GOPC walked through the revisions in a recent webinar and the Wean Foundation has posted the updated reports to their website. You can find the Warren/Trumbull County report and 1-pager here; and the Youngstown/Mahoning County report and 1-pager here. The webinar link is here.
This entire experience was a learning process for GOPC and we are grateful to the Wean Foundation’s steadfast trust in GOPC.
