The Dayton area has 6,232 jobs related to the renewable energy economy, up from 4,263 in 2003. That's an average annual increase of about 5.6 percent, and the jobs pay $37,000 per year on average.

IT'S A STRANGE conclusion, but here it is: Hampton Roads has more jobs closer to its urban core than anywhere in America - more than New York, Boston or any other metropolitan area larger than ours. That's the startling conclusion of a nationwide study by the Brookings Institution's Metropolitan Policy Program. Making the conclusion stranger still is the fact that a similar 2001 study found Hampton Roads one of the sprawlier spots in America.
While the city of Dayton has become safer with a 40 percent drop in violent crime since 1990, the suburbs have seen the violent crime rate rise 91 percent, according to a study released today. Overall, the Dayton metropolitan area, which includes Montgomery, Greene, Preble and Miami counties, saw a 13 percent decrease in the violent crime rate -- expressed in crimes per 100,000 population to account for shifting population, according to the national study done by the Metropolitan Policy Program at the Brookings Institution.
