What it’s like
The place. Brooklyn Heights is a small village in Cuyahoga County, home to far fewer people than most towns. Nearly all of its homes are lived in by their owners, a much higher share than across the county, and household incomes run well above the county's, with few residents living below the poverty line. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and plenty of rain and melted snow through the year, while July brings warm summer days.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with many others in professional and business services, manufacturing and shops. Closer to home, some of the village's largest workplaces are Einheit Electric Construction Co, Towlift and Die-Matic. Commutes are fairly short, and a good number of people work from home. Across Cuyahoga County, unemployment is lower than it was a year ago, though there are somewhat fewer jobs than the year before.
Things to do. A short drive away, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Cleveland Museum of Art are among the area's best-known museums. The Cleveland Metroparks Zoo is also a short drive away. For a day outdoors, Cuyahoga Valley National Park is a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Brooklyn Heights’ census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very low. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Cuyahoga County and the Cleveland-Elyria, OH metro.
