Home Ownership
Larger In County
Than I'm Nation
3,415 Occupied
Dwellings Listed
In Census Report

A greater proportion of Noble
county's population own the
homes they live in and the
homes are more modern and in
better repair than are dwellings
in most parts of the country.
Such are the findings of the
u. S. Department of Commerce,
based on the recent national
Census of Housing. The results
are now being made public.
Of the 3,415 occupied dwelling
units in the county, 78 percent
are owned by their occupants.
This compares favorably with
the national figure which shows
SIS percent horne ownership. In
the State of Ohio the average is
81 percent.
Better economic conditions
locally in the past decade have
made it possible for more people
to satisfy the urge to acquire
their own homes.
Another of the great convent
ences of modern living-mech-
anical refrigeration is also to
be found in abundance in Noble
county. The census figures show
that Sc percent of the homes
have it.
More common, also, in Noble
county, than in most communi-
ties are homes with running hot
and cold water, flush toilets and
bath. The count shows 19 per-
cent of the dwellings with these
features. x, =
With the housing shortage
still with us, despite tife~-cor-
struction activity of the last few
years, the value OF. one-famfiy
dwellings has been rising stead
lily. The report shows. that the
median value of ron-farm. own
er-occupied units in the United
States has reached S7,400.
