Where are you getting your population figures from?
Per Wikipedia:
Ohio 11,542,645
Cleveland
City 433,748, Metro 2,250,871
Mansfield
City 49,579, Metro 124,999
Columbus
City 754,885, Metro 1,773,120
Dayton
City 166,179, Metro 848,153
Cincinnati
City 333,336, Metro 2,155,137
Total population near the Ohio 3C train stations:
City 1,737,727, Metro 7,152,280
That's 62% of the total population of the state within one county of the railroad tracks, and I haven't yet accounted for the rural counties along the corridor.
