One city in Ohio is deemed the richest in the state. Here’s why

The title for Ohio’s richest town goes to New Albany. Stacker named the city one of the wealthiest in the state, beating out some of the more well-known areas.
The Columbus suburb has been the subject of urban development, including Intel’s $28 billion computer chip manufacturing facility, as the tech giant recently secured a multibillion-dollar partnership with Amazon for the project.
Once named America’s best suburb by Business Insider, the community of roughly 11,000 residents is praised for its education system (ranked among the top 3% of all Ohio school districts), safety, as well as its arts and entertainment. New Albany boasts several parks and more than 70 miles of trails for outdoor recreation.
So why is New Albany considered rich? It’s all in the numbers. The median household income, according to Stacker, is a whopping $224,824—nearly 200% more than the national median income. More than half of New Albany’s households (nearly 57%) earn over $200,000, and the city’s unemployment rate is just 2.2%. The data also shows that less than 1% of families in the area have income below the poverty level.
Anchorage named the richest city in Kentucky
Our neighbors in Anchorage, Kentucky, (which sits near the Ohio River east of Louisville and roughly 95 miles from Cincinnati) also made the list of richest towns.
According to Stacker, its median home income was $202,917, and just over 50% of households earn over $200,000. More than 97% of civilians have health insurance, and Anchorage’s unemployment rate is just 6.1% with the median earnings for workers at $93,661.
Stacker says that Anchorage has historic mansions dating back to the 18th century, along with newer luxury homes. The city is known for its rustic nature and Southern charm.

Single-digit temps, below-zero wind chills hit central Ohio after snow
Snow hits downtown Columbus
Snow falls outside the Ohio Theatre as downtown Columbus turns into a winter wonderland.
Now comes the cold.
After nearly 5½ inches of snow fell Dec. 13 in some parts of central Ohio, the National Weather Service says bitterly cold temperatures moving into the region will mean highs in just the single digits.
A cold weather advisory is in affect across central Ohio through 11 a.m. Dec. 15. It was 4 degrees at John Glenn Columbus International Airport at 8:30 a.m. Dec. 14, with a wind chill of 16 degrees below zero.
Temperatures to the west and south are even colder: 1 degree in Springfield, minus-1 in Dayton and minus-3 in Indianapolis. Those temperatures are not expected in the Columbus area, though. The forecast calls for slightly warmer temperatures by evening and highs in the low 20s Dec. 15.
The record cold expected for Dec. 14 — until now, the coldest high temperature in Columbus for this date was 16 degrees in 1917 — follows a day of record snow. The weather service recorded 5.4 inches of snowfall on Dec. 13 at John Glenn Columbus International Airport, topping the prior Dec. 13 record, which was 3.6 inches in 1945.
Level 2 snow emergencies, which means roads are hazardous and people should drive only if they think it’s necessary, remained in effect in Fairfield and Licking counties.
Level 1 snow emergencies are in effect in Delaware, Franklin, Madison, Union and Pickaway counties.

Ohio State men’s basketball fights back in 89-88 double OT win over West Virginia
CLEVELAND, Ohio — Ohio State’s game-winning play over West Virginia in the second overtime period Saturday night was simple: give the ball to Bruce Thornton and get out of his way.
The result was an 89-88 double overtime win in the Cleveland Hoops Showdown at Rocket Arena.
It took so much to get to this moment.
The Buckeyes did all they could in regulation to overcome a 14-point deficit, while awaiting their top player in Thornton to come through.
His teammates did the dirty work to keep them in the game. From their defense creating transition points, matching the Mountaineers’ physical brand of ball.
Once extra time came after the first 40 minutes expired, Thornton took care of the rest in the two overtime periods.
He delivered bucket after another.
None more important than the final one.
A tightly covered Thornton took it down to the top of the key before finding a mismatch and looking to take it to the hole. A defender cut off his path, however, forcing Thornton to operate elsewhere in the paint.
Thornton used his pivot foot wisely before finding an opening for a fadeaway jumper and knocking it down.
Twelve of his 21 points came in the overtime periods.
Ohio State fought to the end and earned a win over a hard-nosed Big 12 opponent.
Center Christoph Tilly did his best to limit the Mountaineers’ big men, while adding 14 points and 11 boards of his own.
Freshman big man Amare Bynum was a pivotal spark off the bench with 17 points, eight rebounds and three blocks.
Point guard John Mobley Jr. finished with 17 points and delivered the 3-point shot in the final seconds of the second half to give them their first lead since the 9:00 mark of the first half.
