What it’s like
The place. Cleves is a village in Hamilton County, in the southwest corner of Ohio, with the Whitewater River running in or beside town. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and household incomes are somewhat higher than across the county. A four-year degree is held by a smaller share of adults than you might expect in a metro area, and a good number of households live on tight budgets.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in the building trades, and in banks, insurance and property. Commutes are fairly long, and a modest number of people work from home. Across Hamilton County, some of the biggest workplaces are Children's Hospital Medical Center, the University of Cincinnati and Cincinnati Public Schools.
Things to do. The Whitewater River is in or beside town, which makes it the easiest outdoor spot to reach. The Creation Museum is a short drive away. A longer drive brings you to the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden, and to Kings Island, an amusement park. Winters are cold and summers warm, so many outings suit the milder months.
