1993 Income Tax Returns By School District
Table Y-2 contains information from 1993 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 4,887,063 Ohio personal income tax returns were
filed for tax year 1993 (April 15, 1994 filing deadline). Of
these, 4,788,782 were filed by Ohio residents.
The statewide average income (federal adjusted gross income)
reported on all 1993 tax returns was $33,415 per return, an
increase of 2.6 percent from the 1992 returns. The Orange
City School District in Cuyahoga County reported the highest
average income of all 612 school districts, with $136,766 per
return. The lowest average income was reported in New Boston
Local School District in Scioto County, with $18,251 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.
For the first time, included in this table is the median Ohio
adjusted gross income (OAGI) and rank for each school
district. Median OAGI is used by the Department of Education
in calculating school aid. Ottawa Hills Local School District
in Lucas County reported the highest median income with
$45,723 while the lowest median income was reported in North
Bass Local School District in Ottawa County with $13,599.
