Delaware vs Ohio
Twenty measures that tend to decide a move, side by side. Every figure is the same one the map shows, from the same source.
Delaware comes out ahead on 5 of them and Ohio on 10, but that tally is not a recommendation: it weighs a difference in class size the same as a difference in house price. Read the rows that matter to you.
