Vibrant Ohio is a statewide organization that enhances local immigrant and refugee integration efforts to build a more inclusive, equitable and prosperous Ohio economy.
The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that Ohio’s foreign-born population grew from 513,592 in 2016 (4.4 percent of the State’s population) to 588,840 in 2021 (5 percent of the State’s population).
According to a 2022 Migration Policy Institute report, Ohio’s foreign-born population is also highly educated. More than 41 percent have at least a bachelor’s degree, higher than the national foreign-born average of 37 percent or of the Ohio U.S.-born at 19 percent.
