Ohio's 1st congressional district is represented by Republican Steve Chabot. This district includes the western four-fifths of Cincinnati, and borders both Kentucky and Indiana. This district was once represented by President William Henry Harrison. Since redistricting in 2010, the district is widely seen by Democrats as heavily gerrymandered by state Republicans to protect the incumbent, Steve Chabot.[3] The new district includes all of Warren County, a much more heavily Republican area. Previous iterations of the district did not include Warren County.[4]
Demographics[edit]
According to the APM Research Lab's Voter Profile Tools[5] (featuring the U.S. Census Bureau's 2019 American Community Survey), the district contained about 551,000 potential voters (citizens, age 18+). Of these, 74% are White and 21% are Black. Immigrants make up 4% of the district's potential voters. Median income among households (with one or more potential voter) in the district is about $64,000, while 11% of households live below the poverty line. As for the educational attainment of potential voters in the district, 8% of those 25 and older have not earned a high school degree, while 34% hold a bachelor's or higher degree.
