Housing, Part 1: Cleveland Average Incomes on the Rise

A report on personal income that came out last month found that Ohioans in almost every city and wage bracket saw a loss in income from 2000 to 2003.

That small gain has provided a little optimism for those hoping to improve Cleveland's financial health through new housing. ideastream's Mark Urycki has the first part in a series of reports on housing in Northeast Ohio.
