this is your hometown.
My hometown, Middletown, Ohio, is in Forbes Magazine on the list of America’s Fastest dying towns.
10. Middletown, Ohio
Situated between Dayton and Cincinnati, Middletown has declined in step with much of Greater Ohio. The town’s median household income is $37,000, and its poverty level has jumped from 12% in 2000 to 22% in 2007. And it’s not likely to get better anytime soon. With only 12.2% of residents possessing bachelor’s degrees or better, the city isn’t a prime candidate to attract highly skilled jobs that have lifted some other post-industrial cities.
