What it’s like

The place. Copley is a township in Summit County, Ohio, and its residents are somewhat older than a typical American community. Household incomes run well above the county's, and relatively few people live below the poverty line. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and the share of adults with a four-year degree is high. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, summers turn warm in July, and rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year.

Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, professional and business services, and banks, insurance and property also employing a good number. Within Copley itself, the largest workplaces include Copley-Fairlawn City Schools, Metropolitan Veterinary Hospital - Akron and Montrose Ford. Unemployment across Summit County has eased from a year earlier, though the county has slightly fewer jobs than it did the year before. A fair number of residents work from home, and the typical commute is a modest one.

Things to do. Right in or beside town is the Akron Fossils & Science Center, a museum. A short drive away are the Akron Art Museum and the Akron Zoo. A longer drive brings you to Cuyahoga Valley National Park, a large park along the Cuyahoga River.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Summit County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. 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 Summit County and the Akron, OH metro.
