The divide is clear: Median household incomes in two census tracts less than 2 miles apart can easily differ by more than $70,000. One tract in Clintonville, west of I-71 and north of North Broadway, has distinct and pricey homes, leafy streets, and a median annual household income of $100,284. In a tract just to the east across the interstate in North Linden, northeast of Oakland Park Avenue and Karl Road, many of the houses stand empty or have been turned into rentals. The median household income there: $27,702.

at least 40 percent of the workers who live in a Linden census tract near Oakland Park hold service jobs or are employed in production, transportation or material handling, sectors that often feature low wages and part-time hours but have boomed as the Columbus population grows and the region develops as a hub for the logistics industry.
