All Ohioans deserve to live happy, healthy lives. However, a number of existing policies result in too many Ohioans working low-paying jobs with few benefits and residing in under-resourced and polluted communities. We can use Ohio’s budget to break down those barriers to a healthy life.
This interactive map highlights the 10% of Ohio neighborhoods where poverty is highly concentrated.
