Delaware County

Located north of Columbus, Delaware County is one of Ohio's faster-growing counties, with a population of 221,160 spread across 84,215 housing units. Ownership is the dominant tenure here, with 78.2% of occupied homes owner-occupied, reflecting a housing stock that skews heavily toward single-family residential development. Renters in the county pay a median gross rent of $1,433 per month. The median household income stands at $130,088, which is well above state and national medians. Most employed residents commute to work, with an average travel time of 19.7 minutes, and just 1.0% of the workforce works from home. The county seat of Delaware sits roughly 25 miles north of downtown Columbus, and much of the county's growth has followed the expansion of the Columbus metropolitan area northward along the US 23 and I-71 corridors. Ohio Wesleyan University is located in the city of Delaware, adding an academic presence to the county's largely suburban and small-town character.
