With a 10.9% population growth rate from 2000-2010, , Clermont County is currently one of the top ten fastest growing counties in Ohio.   

Having added an average of 300 new businesses each of the past five years, a growing business sector is key to Clermont County’s population surge.  The county’s 8.4% unemployment rate (October 2011) is slightly lower than the national average of 9.0%.  

Aided by the convenience of I-275 and connecting highways and interstates, major companies like American Modern Insurance Group, Total Quality Logistics, International Paper and Tata Consultancy Services have chosen to locate or expand in Clermont County. 

Helping to drive this positive economic environment is Clermont County’s strategic location and proximity to the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport.  Sixty percent of the U.S. population resides within one hour’s flight time of the area.  Factor in the pro-business environment, a workforce that is well educated and highly qualified, and an abundance of low cost land, and Clermont County continues to surge.  

More than 1.7 million people, 850,000 of them in the workforce, live within a 45-minute drive of Clermont County.   Clermont County shares in economic honors recently bestowed on Greater Cincinnati as a region as one of America’s Most Livable Communities.
