West Chester today is
Greater Cincinnati’s 5th largest community and is projected to become the
2nd largest community in the Cincinnati MSA behind the City of Cincinnati. West Chester was ranked as the fastest growing community in the region (1990-2000) by population growth.
Population has more than doubled each of the past two decades and is projected to reach 70,000 at build out. The population estimate as of January 1, 2010 was 63,027. Among other Ohio townships, West Chester has one of the highest growth rates and is the second largest township in Ohio, accounting for nearly 17% of the total population of Butler County.
A long-favored residential community, in the past decade West Chester has become a regional powerhouse for business development. The Township ranks among the Tri-state’s top tier office and industrial locations for its unmatched access to major interstate corridors, numerous commerce parks,
large inventory of land and buildings and dense labor pool – all in an attractive suburban setting. Community leaders have planned for and achieved development of an expansive corporate base to complement and balance residential growth.
A primary factor driving West Chester’s record business growth is its prime location with
immediate access to five full interstate interchanges – unmatched by any other of the region’s suburban communities (three within West Chester at I-75 and two at the regional beltway, I-275, at the community’s perimeter). West Chester is the southern gateway to Butler County, which links Hamilton County (Cincinnati) to the south with Montgomery County (Dayton) to the north.
