The cities of Warren and Youngstown have seen a considerable drop in vacant housing since 2020, while the number of minority, women and EDGE-certified businesses has doubled in these communities. These are just two of the encouraging trends highlighted in a new two-part report developed by the Greater Ohio Policy Center on behalf of The Raymond John Wean Foundation, an organization dedicated to community revitalization within the Mahoning Valley.
The reports provide a comprehensive view of the current conditions of the cities of Warren and Youngstown as they compare to Trumbull and Mahoning counties, respectively, and the state of Ohio. They are designed to provide accurate, up-to-date information for both the Wean Foundation and its grantee partners to better understand areas that have seen improvements and where there are opportunities for greater support. The reports include data on population, housing, employment, education, and more.
