Special thanks to Code for Dayton for updating the City of Dayton Landmark Preservation Task Force Report. Their analysis extends the original study's review window from 2012 to 2022. The total valuation of Dayton’s historic districts increased 122.3% from 1996 to 2022 compared to the -0.7% in non-historic districts. This appreciation in value is even more pronounced since the 2012 study found that the total valuation of Dayton’s historic districts increased 71% from 1996 to 2012 compared to the 22% in non-historic districts.

The original study was produced by Richard Stock, University of Dayton, Business Research Group in 2012 and was updated using the same methodology by Code for Dayton in 2023.
