Delaware

Located in Delaware County about 25 miles north of Columbus, the city of Delaware has a population of 43,168 residents and 17,347 housing units. Just over 62 percent of those units are owner-occupied, reflecting a housing stock with a meaningful share of renters paying a median gross rent of $1,203 per month. The median household income stands at $92,928, placing the city well above national and state medians. Residents have relatively short commutes, with the average trip to work coming in at 22 minutes, and about 3 percent of workers complete their commute without leaving home. Delaware is home to Ohio Wesleyan University, which contributes to the city's mix of residents and adds institutional employment alongside the broader Delaware County economy. The city's downtown retains a traditional small-city character, with local government, healthcare, and retail making up portions of the employment base that draws workers both locally and from the Columbus metropolitan area.
