About Niles, Ohio

Niles is a city in Trumbull County, Ohio, United States. Niles was founded in 1806 by James Heaton, who owned one of the first iron-ore processing plants in Ohio. The town originally went by the name of Heaton's Furnace but was later renamed Nilestown after Hezekiah Niles, editor of the influential Weekly Register news magazine. The National McKinley Birthplace Memorial Library and Museum in downtown Niles was established in 1915 to remember President William McKinley. Nearby is the McKinley Birthplace Home and Research Center. The Ward-Thomas Museum is the current home of the Niles Historical Society. (Wikipedia)

Is it worth it?

A rough return-on-investment read from what graduates earn versus what they borrow.

Median earnings (10 years): $34,017
Typical debt at graduation: $13,805
Debt vs. one year's pay: 41%
Out-earn a HS grad: 37%

Typical debt would take roughly 4.1 years to repay at about a tenth of median earnings.

Solid value

A reasonable return: earnings comfortably clear the debt over a few years for most students who finish.

Earnings are the College Scorecard median for former students (working, not enrolled) 10 years after entry — not a guarantee, and they vary a lot by major. Debt is the median federal loan balance at graduation.

The pay gap here

Median earnings 10 years after entry, split by gender.

Women

Men out-earn women by $4,008 (12%) a decade out.

Federal figures for former students working and not enrolled, 10 years after they first entered. A gap this wide usually reflects which majors men and women here tend to choose — not different pay for the same job.
