Ohio's 1st congressional district


Ohio's 1st congressional district is represented by Democrat Greg Landsman. The district includes the city of Cincinnati, all of Warren County and borders the state of Kentucky. This district was once represented by President William Henry Harrison. After redistricting in 2010, the district was widely seen as heavily gerrymandered by state Republicans to protect the incumbent, Steve Chabot. Chabot lost the seat in 2022 to Landsman, after redistricting unified the city of Cincinnati into the district. The city was previously split between the 1st and 2nd districts.
The district is somewhat more Democratic than its predecessor even though it includes heavily Republican Warren County. Previous iterations of the district did not include Warren County. However, Hamilton County has double Warren County's population, creating a marginally Democratic seat.

Demographics

According to the APM Research Lab's Voter Profile Tools, the district contained about 551,000 potential voters. Of these, 74% are White and 21% are Black. Immigrants make up 4% of the district's potential voters. Median income among households in the district is about $64,000, while 11% of households live below the poverty line. 8% of those 25 and older have not earned a high school degree, while 34% hold a bachelor's or higher degree.
