ACCOMPLISHMENTS
COMPLETE COUNT COMMITTEE
A major component of Census 2000 on our area has been promoting this activity to the
residents of Hamilton County. In an effort to improve upon the success of the 1990 Census
in our region, our office revived the Cincinnati/Hamilton County Complete Count Committee
for the 2000 Census. Comprised of leaders from businesses, local governments,
neighborhoods, educational institution, non-profit organizations, and the media, this
committee has worked diligently during the past months ot inform residents as to the
importance of the Census and to encourage their participation. The committee is chaired by
Hamilton County Commissioner Tom Neyer, Jr. and Cincinnati Mayor Charlie Luken. The
Hamilton County Regional Planning Commission has provided staff support for the over 110
members of the organization. It is anticipated that the efforts of this organization and our
office will ensure that the 2000 Census generates the most reflective snapshot of our
community.
MIGRATION REPORT
The Data Products section worked with a consultant, Christine Nolan (now a member of RPC
planning staff) to produce a report describing population migration in and out of Hamilton
County, Ohio between 1984 and 1997. The report is entitled, “Spreading Out: The March to
the Suburbs,” and it is one of a series of comprehensive planning reports being produced by
the RPC. Based on IRS migration data, the report examines migration patterns between
Hamilton County and other CMSA counties, the State of Ohio, U.S. Census regions, and
other metropolitan areas. Copies of the report may be obtained by calling 513-946-4452.
