New data reveals a promising trend in the well-being of Ohio's kids.
Emily Campbell, associate director of the Center for Community Solutions, noted the data is a one-year estimate from the Census Bureau's 2020 American Community Survey, which carries some uncertainty because of disruptions caused by the pandemic. The 2020 data found a 12.4% poverty rate for Ohio adults ages 18 to 24, which is unchanged from 2019, and a slightly higher poverty rate for older adults. Campbell noted the changes are not as statistically significant as the drop in child poverty.
"Economic stimulus payments, additional unemployment compensation for parents," Campbell outlined."We think that these are the things that pulled a lot of Ohio's children out of poverty, when the situation could have been much worse."
