NEWS NEARBY: THE 2010 CENSUS

Another set of figures from the 2010 U.S. Census came out on Thursday for Ohio cities.

In March, the Census Bureau released data of the 2010 census that showed Cuyahoga Falls grew in the 10-year period between 2000 and 2010, but only by 278 people. It's growth is slow, but steady and it's becoming a more diverse city.

Yesterday, we found out that while Cuyahoga Falls continues to have a large white majority, 93.4 percent of the population, that figure has declined a bit from 95.8 percent in 2000. Black Americans were 3.3 percent of the population in 2010, up from just 1.9 percent in 2000. The Asian population grew from 1.1 percent in 2000 to 2.1 percent in 2010. And the Latino population grew from 0.6 percent to 1.4 percent during the decade.
