2001 Income Tax Returns By School District
Table Y-2 contains information from 2001 Ohio personal income
tax returns categorized by school district as indicated by
taxpayers on their returns. State law requires that Ohio
income tax returns include a line on which taxpayers indicate
their school district of residence.
A total of 5,386,619 Ohio personal income tax returns were
filed for tax year 2001 (April 15, 2002 filing deadline). Of
these, 5,272,934 (98 percent) indicated a school district of
residence.
The statewide average income (federal adjusted gross income)
reported on all 2001 tax returns was $47,521 per return, a
decrease of 4.0 percent from the 2000 returns. The Indian
Hill Exempted Village School District in Hamilton County
reported the highest average income of all 613 school
districts, with $216,263 per return. The lowest average
income was reported in New Boston Local School District in
Scioto County, with $23,408 per return.
In addition to showing the number of returns filed by
residents of each school district, the average and median
income, and the income ranking, Table Y-2 indicates three
other items of information for each district. These include
the number of personal exemptions claimed on returns (for
taxpayer, spouse, and dependents), the total income and the
total income tax liability.
Median Ohio adjusted gross income is used by the Department
of Education in calculating school aid. Olentangy Local
School District in Delaware County reported the highest
median income with $60,866 while the lowest median income was
reported in New Boston Local School District in Scioto County
with $17,270.
