Explore the fact sheets

We make data digestible. Community Solutions produces fact sheets highlighting demographic, health, and social indicators for communities around Ohio. We examine data indicators within poverty, education, employment, income, health outcomes, and public benefit programs. Policymakers and direct service organizations use this resource to better understand the communities they serve and advocate for improved health and social conditions around the state.

Cuyahoga County Council Districts

Cuyahoga Council District fact sheets highlight demographic, health, and social indicators in the City of Cleveland. The fact sheets summarize and the data profiles provide extensive information about each district on employment and income, poverty, education, housing, and health. Data released 2017 and 2024.

Cleveland Neighborhoods

City of Cleveland Neighborhoods fact sheets and data profiles highlight demographic, health, and social indicators in the City of Cleveland. The fact sheets summarize and the data profiles provide extensive information about each neighborhood on employment and income, poverty, education, housing and health. Data released in 2016, 2021, and 2024.

Status of Women

Ohio enjoys a high rate of health care coverage, at 95%. Yet maternal health challenges continue to impact the health of women and their families. Women are more likely to be caregivers, and Ohio mothers work at rates higher than the national average. Even when working, Ohio women with children are more likely to live in poverty. Having children increases the likelihood of living in poverty by four-fold. Data released in 2023.

Ohio Legislative Districts

By matching Census block groups with the boundaries of Ohio’s new legislative districts, then to data points from the U.S. Census Bureau, we created fact sheets for each of the 132 legislative districts. Fact sheets include demographic information about each district, as well as district-level data on employment and income, poverty, education, housing, and health. Data released in 2023.

Cleveland Wards

City of Cleveland Ward fact sheets highlight pre-pandemic demographic, health, and social indicators in the City of Cleveland. The fact sheets include basic demographic information about each neighborhood and pre-pandemic data on employment and income, poverty, education, housing and health. Data released 2021 and 2022.
