Officials in Middletown, about halfway between Cincinnati and Dayton, say the city has 13 percent of Butler County’s population but 56 percent of its Section 8 housing vouchers, which are federal subsidies used to help low-income families afford housing in the private market.
The documents show that city officials talked about putting “problematic” Section 8 landlords through special audits and background checks to weed them out of the program and reduce the amount of low-income housing available in Middletown.
I, for one, see nothing wrong with the actions they're taking.

Not defending West Milton (because it is for poor people), but Covington is poorer in household income and per-capita income.

Hope this helps.
