The annual look at U.S. Census Bureau estimates for cities isn't due out until May. However, WorldPopulationReview.com has given us a preview based on 2018 Census estimates.
Newark is now Ohio's 15th largest city. The preview predicts Newark will stand out with another rise in the rankings again this year.
Newark's 1.8% estimated population increase versus 2017 estimates is best among Ohio's twenty largest cities. There were four Ohio cities--Columbus, Lorain, Newark, and Middletown--that predicted population gains among the top 20 cities.
Further, Newark will retain its status as the second largest city in the Columbus metro area. It's hard to ignore a rise like Newark has seen among its peers.
Population growth is a measure of as well as a predictor of economic success. Newark's growth among it's Ohio city peers stands out as a sign of its economic gains as well as a strong predictor of its ability to sustain a growing workforce to accommodate future growth.
Congratulations, Mayor Jeff Hall and Newark.
