about half of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. It tracks the Delaware County average of 4.7 closely. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $66,722.

45% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
