Genuinely more affordable housing

Reported housing figures spanned roughly $310,000-$385,000 across sources this pass -- Zillow's $325,077 average home value (up 2.1% YoY) versus Redfin's higher $385,000 median (up 8.8% YoY) -- genuinely below New Albany's and Worthington's own figures documented elsewhere in this project.

A property tax rate above Ohio's statewide median

Grove City's own effective property tax rate ran 2.13% per Ownwell -- above both the Ohio statewide median (1.60%) and national median (1.02%), with a median annual bill of approximately $3,693.

A genuinely lower combined income tax rate

Grove City's 2.0% city income tax (via a confirmed RITA membership) combines with Ohio's flat 2.75% state rate for an approximate combined marginal rate of 4.75% -- genuinely lower than Columbus's or Worthington's own 5.25% combined figures.
