2020 Census shows Clermont County population surpasses milestone

Clermont County saw a population increase over the last 10 years, according the 2020 U.S. Census count.

Clermont County surpassed a major population milestone in the last decade. The county now has over 200,000 people.

The county's population increased by 5.7% in the last 10 years, for a total of 208,601 according to the 2020 U.S. Census Bureau count.

The new census marked the first time the county's population has not increased by a double-digit percentage in seven decades. This is consistent with national trends, as preliminary data showed the U.S. population growth rate from 2010 to 2020 was the slowest since the Great Depression

The county's white population decreased by 0.1% in the past decade, but all minority populations in the county saw an increase. 

Milford, the country's largest city, shrank by 1.9% to 6,555. In Ohio, a municipality must have a population of at least 5,000 to be considered a city.

Union Township's population jumped by 6.9% to 49,639.
