What it’s like
The place. Brooklyn is a city of Cuyahoga County, and its residents are older than in much of the country. Household incomes run above the county's, and a good many homes are lived in by their owners, with renters making up the rest. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than you might expect, and winters are cold and snowy, with a warm July and a fair amount of rain and melted snow through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by manufacturing, shops and professional and business services. Among the largest workplaces in Brooklyn are Arrow International, a commercial printer, Walmart, and Amazon. Unemployment across Cuyahoga County is lower than a year ago, though the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before, and the typical commute is a modest one.
Things to do. Cleveland Metroparks Zoo and Brookside Reservation sit in or beside town, so a walk or an afternoon among the animals needs no real travel. A short drive brings you to the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, both of them museums well known beyond the region. For a longer day out, Cuyahoga Valley National Park is a longer drive away.

Natural hazards

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Brooklyn’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
