Austintown, Ohio
Austintown is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Mahoning County, Ohio, United States. It lies within Austintown Township. The population was 29,594 at the 2020 census. Located directly west of Youngstown, it is a suburb in the Youngstown–Warren metropolitan area.
Austintown Township was founded in 1793 as township 2, range 3 of the Connecticut Western Reserve by purchase from the Connecticut Land Company. It was surveyed as a parcel of land 5 miles (8 km) on each side, as were other townships of the Connecticut Western Reserve. Austintown was named for Warren resident and Western Reserve judge Calvin Austin. In 1794, John McCollum of New Jersey became the first settler.
Throughout the 19th century, the township slowly grew; by 1880, coal miners and their families increased the population to 2,502. Some of the earliest historic sites in the community include the Austintown Log House, built in 1814, and the Judge William Shaw Anderson House, built in 1831. A post office called Orange was established on November 15, 1815, and its name was changed to Austintown on May 6, 1872. It ceased operation on May 15, 1917, forwarding mail to West Austintown, Ohio.
After World War II, Austintown experienced a population boom as suburban spillover from neighboring Youngstown extended into the eastern part of the township, while a central Austintown community developed along Ohio State Route 46. In 1980, the U.S. Census Bureau formally designated the census-designated place (CDP) of Austintown, comprising the township's urban areas.
The Austintown CDP takes up slightly less than half of the area of Austintown Township, largely on the eastern side of the township, where it abuts the western border of the city of Youngstown. According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 11.7 square miles (30.2 km2), of which 11.6 square miles (30.1 km2) is land and 0.04 square miles (0.1 km2), or 0.29%, is water.
As of the census of 2000, there were 31,627 people, 13,419 households, and 8,762 families residing in the CDP. The population density was 2,709.3 inhabitants per square mile (1,046.1/km2). There were 14,179 housing units at an average density of 1,214.6 per square mile (469.0/km2). The racial makeup of the CDP was 92.51% White, 5.09% African American, 0.14% Native American, 0.59% Asian, 0.03% Pacific Islander, 0.43% from other races, and 1.21% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 1.83% of the population.
There were 13,419 households, out of which 25.8% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 49.6% were married couples living together, 12.1% had a female householder with no husband present, and 34.7% were non-families. 30.2% of all households were made up of individuals, and 11.4% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.32 and the average family size was 2.90.
In the CDP the population was spread out, with 20.9% under the age of 18, 9.0% from 18 to 24, 27.3% from 25 to 44, 25.5% from 45 to 64, and 17.2% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 40 years. For every 100 females there were 90.8 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 87.7 males.
