CITY OF SUNBURY

COMMUNITY PROFILE

Neighborhood Strategies developed a detailed Community Profile for the City of Sunbury, a community located in Delaware County—Ohio’s fastest-growing region. By examining key factors such as demographics, infrastructure, population trends, commuting patterns, and school district data, we provided a resource to support informed policy-making and attract new development opportunities.

>>> Highlighting Community Statistics to Inspire Growth & Opportunity

Sunbury’s geographic location gives companies access to more of the U.S. population and employment base than any other metro area. Within a day’s drive from the Columbus region, 45% of the country’s population and 48% of operational headquarters can be reached. With a recent growth rate of over 26%, the City of Sunbury is positioned for continued development and offers a unique opportunity for developers, residents, and businesses. By carefully researching and assessing key area factors, Neighborhood Strategies developed a Community Profile to provide a clear, comprehensive overview of the area’s characteristics, strengths, and opportunities. The project serves as a tool to attract investment and resources, guide planning and development, strengthen community identity, and enhance marketing and recruitment.

>>> Collecting Data & Creating Specific Maps for the City’s Economic Development Strategy

For the City’s Economic Development Strategy, our team collected, digitized, and analyzed a wide range of data to support informed decision-making. Using ArcGIS Pro, we created detailed maps illustrating inbound and outbound commuting patterns, water and sewer infrastructure, community reinvestment areas, flood hazards, topography, utilities, school districts, zoning, and the nearby Intel facility. These visualizations provided a clear, data-driven foundation to guide the City’s economic development priorities and support sustainable growth.
