New data show that the 16-county Cincinnati region’s economic outlook improved in the past decade, with per capita income rising by almost 25 percent and the poverty rate declining by 1.2 percent. At the same time (and likely related), the percentage of adults across the region with a college education increased by more than 7 percent. Unfortunately, home ownership took a hit over the past decade, dropping by 2.7 percent.
