Best fit: school-focused families and Cardinal Health/Wendy's-connected movers

Dublin's clearest case is for families prioritizing Dublin City Schools' real, top-ranked status, and movers with ties to Cardinal Health's or Wendy's real, current, separate Dublin headquarters.

Good fit: safety-focused buyers with the budget for Dublin's price point

Households prioritizing a dramatically safer profile than Columbus proper and a genuinely lower city income tax rate, who have the budget for Dublin's genuinely higher home prices, have a real, practical case for Dublin specifically.

Weaker fit: buyers prioritizing Columbus-metro affordability

Buyers whose top priority is affordability relative to the broader Columbus metro should weigh Dublin's genuinely higher housing and property tax costs honestly against other Ohio markets in this project's coverage.
