Come on In Paris, We Got More Young & Rich in Delaware

The young and rich feel comfortable in Delaware, Ohio according to a recent Nielsen Company survey. Delaware ranked eigth in the nation in the percentage of people the ages of 24-35 that make more than $100,000 per year.

“I think we’re just fortunate,” Delaware County Economic Director Gus Comstock recently said in a Columbus Dispatch article. “It’s location, location, location.”

Well the other locations include:

1. Loudoun, Va., 10.1%
2. Arlington, Va., 8.8%
3. San Francisco, Calif., 7.8%
4. New York, N.Y., 7.6%
5. Douglas, Colo., 7.2%
6. Forsyth, Ga., 7.0%
7. Alexandria City, Va., 6.7%
8. Delaware, Ohio, 6.7%
9. Scott, Minn., 6.6%
10. Broomfield, Colo., 6.3%

The “location” has a lot to do with Delaware’s proximity to the benefits of Columbus, its proximity to higher education institutions, and respected educational systems. In addition, Delaware has one of the lowest unemployment rates in the state at 7.7%.

All of that blends together to provide the “perfect storm” that those in real estate would call … location, location, location.
