Dayton's zoning page provides the city map together with a thoroughfare-and-setback appendix, a list of planned development districts and urban-renewal areas. Check the relevant companion material and ask Planning to confirm a current parcel question; the page's map-update description is older than this review.
Open local resourceDayton's Historic Districts Information page links a map of local districts and individual sites with HD classifications. It explains that review of exterior changes differs by designation category and directs modification questions to Historic Preservation. Identify the category before assuming that all historic properties follow the same process.

These figures cover Dayton city, Ohio. City boundaries, ZIP codes, school attendance areas, and named neighborhoods can differ. Use a property's address to check the details that matter to you; a city-wide median will not describe every block or home.
Use the city comparison to view figures from the same ACS release side by side. Then compare current property choices, your actual commute, and address-specific conditions. Differences between survey estimates can fall within their margins of error; the comparison does not rank which place is best.
