I found this interactive map very interesting to see where the wealth of Cincinnati metro area lives. It turns out that the only people in Middletown making over $200,000 lives on South Main Street in Middletown. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WCPO http://www.wcpo.com/news/interactive-where-the-wealthy-live-in-the-tri-state" rel="nofollow - http://www.wcpo.com/news/interactive-where-the-wealthy-live-in-the-tri-state There’s a growing number of high-income households in neighborhoods across the Tri-State, according to U.S. Census data released in December. The 2012 U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey shows there are nearly 33,000 households with income of $200,000 or more in Hamilton and 13 surrounding counties in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. In 2010, there were about 30,000 households in that income range. The latest survey, released in mid-December, uses five years’ worth of data to calculate population, households and income estimates for small geographic areas within a county, such as census tracts. Census tracts are neighborhood-like areas within a county that are bounded by major roads and waterways. Last year, 154 of the 505 census tracts across the Tri-State had concentrations of high-income households at or above four percent – the overall average for the region. That’s 20 more tracts than was reported in 2010. Eight of the 10 tracts with the highest concentrations of $200,000-plus households are in Hamilton County. The top tract in the region, with nearly half the households in the high-income range, is located along the Ohio River in the southeast corner of the county. |

Don't know how accurate this article is. There are a few other neighborhoods beside the S. Main St. folks who have the potential (at least on the surface) to make $200,000+.......how about some folks in the Oaks (Gerber Drive)? The Highlands neighborhood? What about DaVinci Court? Over on McGee around Kensington St./Eaton Drive on over by the church perhaps? The east part of Riverview has some potential. Maybe some old established money like the Alameda Circle? Thornhill Lane?...... Manchester Manor???? Probably not. Of course, in Cincy, Indian Hill, Montgomery, Hyde Park, Anderson, Wyoming.......all high cotton. In Dayton, how about Oakwood, Centerville....... New rich......people who, on the surface, show they have money but may be up to their eyeballs in debt with credit cards and loans and THINK they have money. Old rich......people who have either inherited or built over time, wealth, are not in debt, don't need to charge everything. pay cash for everything and KNOW they have money. ------------- I'm so proud of my hometown and what it has become. Recall 'em all. Let's start over. |

Part of the problem with the Map is the shading of colors they used. If they extened the map north into dayton I would garuntee that the green shading would follow Ohio 48 up to Southern Dayton, and extend north and east to Beavercreek, and Yellow Springs. |

Just FYI here.... Back before the 80's, Middletown had its fair share of wealthy people for a town of around 50 thousand. All the Armco-AK Steel and paper company execs lived in town and raised the bar for income levels. Then, in the mid-80's (Mike P and spider, help me on this) Robert Boni, then CEO (or President-don't remember), packed up the high ranking, big money execs and moved the entire group to Parsippany(sp?)NJ. Then, our city took another hit when AK Steel CEO Richard Wardrop (I think it was him) moved the entire General Office group to West Chester leaving a gutted AK Research group to waste away. Like Black-Clawson, a long-time fixture, providing decent wages (who moved to Mason-Montgomery Rd.), both moved due to image embarrassment. Both companies thought it too embarrassing to entertain clients and potential customers in Middletown anymore. What does that tell you about the town's image decline over the years......and it's all due to the inept people given the task of running the city from the 80's to current. They ran it all right.......right into the ground. And THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is one more reason why I'm so ticked off at what they've done to a once-decent city. Blood pressure just went up again.......  ------------- I'm so proud of my hometown and what it has become. Recall 'em all. Let's start over. |

Vet: Armco Moved their HQ to New Jersey in 1985. I can't remember who was at the helm then...it very well could've been Boni. AK Steel moved their corporate HQ to West Chester in 2007. ------------- “Mulligan said he ... doesn’t believe they necessarily make the return on investment necessary to keep funding them.” …The Middletown Journal, January 30, 2012 |
