Strengths:
-A strength of the Lordstown area is even though the poverty level is at 10.5%, this percentage is still 3% lower than the national average which was reported in 2015 by the US national census, which stated that the level was at 13.5% nationally. Another advantage of living in Lordstown is that the average travel time to work is 22.6 minutes, which is 2.8 minutes quicker than the national average of 25.2 minutes reported by the 2014 US census.
Weaknesses:
-According to the 2014 US census on infant mortality, the US is at 5.82 deaths per 1000 births. In Ohio, the 2015 infant mortality was at 7.2 deaths per 1,000 births. A weakness of the Lordstown area, located in Trumbull county, is the infant mortality rate of Trumbull county exceeds that of both the US national rate, 5.82, and the Ohio rate, 7.2. Trumbull county infant mortality rate for 2015 was at 9.6 deaths per 1000 births. This rate can be a concerning factor for someone looking to move into the area. The mean age of residents living in the Lordstown area is 50 years old. This may also be a deterrent to the younger population looking to move into this area. According to the 2014 US census the national medium household income is $51,939, however the 2014 average household income for Lordstown Ohio is $47,564 putting Lordstown $4,374 below the national average.
