North Hill Neighborhood
Where there is no vision, the people perish.
Proverbs 29:18
Urban Vision 2050 Impact Plan
Urban Vision began in Elizabeth Park and moved up the hill when gentrification relocated many families to North Hill. The new location placed us in the center of our current target area.
While the city of Akron has seen an overall population decline, recent data from the US Census Bureau shows that North Hill’s population saw three, and in some cases, four-digit growth from the years 2010 to 2020.
There is a global identity to the North Hill neighborhood. Whether born here or coming from halfway around the world, the people are what make Akron feel like home.
The once troubled neighborhood of North Hill is being transformed through the love and hope of Jesus Christ into the vibrant community it is today through the Lord’s blessing.
