Below 1% of the population here; subgroup estimates are within the survey's margin of error.

Source · American Community Survey 5-year estimates, 2024 release. Race shares: B02001 · B03003. Subgroup detail: B03001 (Hispanic or Latino specific origin), B02015 (Asian groups), B02020 · B02016 (American Indian/Alaska Native tribes and Pacific Islander groups), B04006 (reported ancestry). Hispanic/Latino is an ethnicity that overlaps the race categories, so group shares can total more than 100%. All subgroup rows are shares of total population; ancestry is self-reported and multiple-response, so rows do not sum to the parent group's share.

This small metro in east-central Ohio has backed Republican presidential candidates by double-digit margins in recent cycles, shaped by a working-class manufacturing base and a rural Amish population that depresses overall turnout figures.

Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 40.7 points in 1964 and a Republican high of 49.7 points in 1928. Between 2020 and 2024 the metro moved 3.2 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 43.1 points.

A population of 92,385, a 94% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $65,044 describe the metro.
