How many people move from Green Bay to Cincinnati
The Census Bureau's American Community Survey (2016–2020) estimates that about 5 people a year (±12) moved from Brown County, WI, home to Green Bay, to Hamilton County, OH, home to Cincinnati. The margin of error is as large as the estimate, so read it as a handful of households rather than a count. Too few went the other way to estimate. Movers from Brown County make up 0.0% of the 41,447 people a year who moved into Hamilton County from another county or state.
At state level, the 2024 survey counts about 2,621 people a year (±1,299) moving from Wisconsin to Ohio and about 1,259 people a year (±657) from Ohio to Wisconsin — a net gain for Ohio of about 1,362 people a year.

This is the distance where carriers split. A dedicated truck costs more and delivers on a date; a consolidated load costs less and delivers in a window. Decide which you are buying before you compare prices.
