The Athens County Foundation is happy to share the updated Athens County Report!
In 2016, ACF commissioned a report to assess the state of Athens County. This report has influenced the foundation's work and has served as a valuable resource for various community organizations. The current report aims to update information from 2016 and highlight new developments in the county.
Information for the 2024 report was gathered during 2022 through the collection of publicly available secondary data and primary data from community members engaged in serving Athens County. This report discusses the longstanding challenges faced by the community, such as poverty and food insecurity, and the equally enduring work of the community to address the drivers of these complex problems while simultaneously supporting those most impacted by them.
ACF would like to thank Ohio University’s Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Service, Sunday Creek Horizons, and the many Athens County community members who gave their time to make this report possible.
Correction Notice:
We regret an error in the report stating that the percentage of people living below the federal poverty level is 16.9% on page 7. The correct value is 26.9%. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused and appreciate your understanding.

The Athens Foundation published their 2016 Athens County report on the state of Athens County. Originally commissioned in 2010, this snapshot informed much of the Foundation’s work, as well as, that of other nonprofits, churches, and governments in Athens County. This report is an attempt to look at our community today, and will also inform and direct the work of the Foundation for the next five years. The Athens Foundation produced this report in collaboration with Ohio University’s Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Affairs and the School of Visual Communication. Several key findings in the areas of economic vitality, thriving communities, and individual health & wellbeing are discussed in the report. The Athens Foundation invites the community to strategically invest to create meaningful and measurable results that make a real difference in our community. Through this work the Foundation will align partners to accelerate results. At the Athens Foundation we invest in local strategies to empower Athens County residents and build on the strengths of our region, now and for generations to come.
