    Ohio led the nation with seven of the 34 counties that had the biggest population declines, according to U.S. Census Bureau estimates released today. Cuyahoga County lost 13,304 residents, the third-biggest population decline in the country.

    In contrast, Franklin County grew by 9,040 residents, or 0.8 percent of its population, and the six surrounding counties grew by 10,428 residents.

    Ohio ended up with 3,404 more residents.
