Civic life grade

What’s behind Champion Township’s civic life grade

On community nonprofits and volunteering, Champion Township is ahead of 11% of U.S. towns, #880 of 914 in Ohio. Champion Township is graded on two of the three inputs. Both inputs sit below most U.S. towns; the share of younger adults in volunteering groups comes closest to the middle.

Ohio towns we grade (914)Ahead of 4%
U.S. towns with similar incomes, $52K–$87K (9,008)Ahead of 11%

Most U.S. towns with similar household incomes ($52K–$87K) score higher, so income alone doesn’t account for it.

Civic life counts registered nonprofits, library visits and online volunteering groups, so it can miss civic life that runs through congregations, mutual aid or neighbors looking out for each other.

How sure. Graded on two inputs, so a change in either one moves the letter more than it would with three. Champion Township is small (9,277 residents), so a few dozen organizations or visits move its per-resident figures; the volunteering share is a 2022 estimate from Facebook users aged 25–44.

What this data can and can’t tell you

From the Public Libraries Survey, fiscal year 2024.

  • The library’s own count. Libraries report their own visits, loans and programs. A library that didn’t respond keeps its address and hours here, with no numbers.

Hours are the survey’s yearly average; libraries are compared with others serving about as many people. How TownRatings uses library figures →
