What's Riding on the Census

Many Ohioans have just received a letter from the U.S. Census office, reminding them that the ten-year census is just around the corner. For a region facing a population decline, the stakes are high: some cities may see their numbers fall below the threshold for certain kinds of federal funding. And the final tally will determine not only the number of districts Ohio gets in the next Congress, but also the amount of money every county gets for providing human services. Wednesday morning at 9, join host Dan Moulthrop for a conversation about what's at stake in the coming census.Mark Salling Director, Northern Ohio Data and Information Service (NODIS), Levin College Fellow and Faculty, Levin College of Urban Affairs, Cleveland State University; Research Director, The Center for Community Solutions
