As of the 2000 Census, there were 27,906 people, 9,772 households, and 4,798 families residing in the city. The population density was 3,212.3 people per square mile (1,239.9/kmē). There were 10,435 housing units at an average density of 1,201.2/sq mi (463.6/kmē). The racial makeup of the city was 86.1% White, 9.1% African American, 2.2% Asian, 0.2% Native American, <0.1% Pacific Islander, 0.4% from other races, and 2.0% from two or more races. 1.3% of the population is Hispanic or Latino of any race.[44] Though slightly below the national averages for diversity, Kent is very close to the averages for Ohio and above the averages for the surrounding area.[35]
There were 9,772 households out of which 25.8% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 32.8% were married couples living together, 13.3% had a female householder with no husband present, and 50.9% were non-families. 32.4% of all households were made up of individuals and 8.1% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.3 and the average family size was 2.9.[44]
In the city the population was spread out with 16.4% under the age of 18, 40.0% from 18 to 24, 23.0% from 25 to 44, 13.1% from 45 to 64, and 7.5% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 23 years, which was well below both the median age for Ohio (36.2) and the United States (35.3).[45] For every 100 females there were 84.6 males, well below the state average of 96.3 males and the national average of 94.4 males per 100 females. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 81.0 males, again below both the state (91.1) and national (93.4) averages. This is in marked contrast to neighboring Franklin Township, which had 104.3 males for every 100 females and 101.4 males for every 100 females in 2000.
