What it’s like

The place. Gates Mills is a small village in Cuyahoga County, and nearly every home in it is lived in by its owners rather than rented. Typical home values run well above what is usual across the county, and household incomes are higher than the county's, with fewer residents living below the poverty line. Adults here are far more likely than most to hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and highs staying close to freezing, while July is the warmest, with pleasantly warm days. Rain and melted snow add up to a good deal over the year.

Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by banks, insurance and property, professional and business services, and manufacturing. Across Cuyahoga County, the largest workplaces include the Cleveland Clinic Main Campus, UH Cleveland Medical Center and Metrohealth Medical Center. A typical commute is a modest one, and a good number of residents work from home. Unemployment across the county is lower now than it was a year ago, though the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before.

Things to do. The Cleveland Museum of Natural History and the David Berger National Memorial, a protected area, lie a short drive away. For a longer outing, the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame are both museums a longer drive away, and Cuyahoga Valley National Park offers a national park setting, also 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 Gates Mills’ 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.

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.
