Statusno live GIS/API source found
NoteOGRIP's boundaryData service has no ESC layer; Ohio DOE's own ODE_Layers FeatureServer (geo1.oit.ohio.gov) was unreachable (connection refused) when checked. The Ohio Educational Service Center Association (oesca.org) publishes a member directory/map, but it's not a queryable dataset.

Recommended SourceUS Census Bureau Population Estimates Program (PEP) — https://api.census.gov/data/{year}/pep/population — joins on the county FIPS already captured by the counties source above.
