Population rebounds in Elyria Lorain County in 1980s
Elyria Lorain County population has rebounded over the late 1980s after a drop from 1980. The 1990 census is expected to place the county between 271000 and 272000, down from about 275000 in 1980. Losses were driven by unemployment and out-migration, with Lorain and Elyria losing thousands. The Census Bureau opened a five-county office in Lorain to administer the count and urged pre census housing reviews to improve accuracy.
