What it’s like
The place. Highland Hills is a very small village in Cuyahoga County, home to far fewer people than most towns. Residents tend to be older than across the county, and household incomes run well below the county's. Homes here are valued modestly, and winters are cold, with the year's moisture arriving as a mix of rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with many others in professional and business services, manufacturing and shops. A small share of people work from home. In the village itself, the larger workplaces include Highland Springs, a psychiatric hospital, and Sunshine Retirement Living, an assisted-living facility with on-site nursing.
Things to do. The David Berger National Memorial is in or beside town. A short drive away are the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, both museums. For the outdoors, Cuyahoga Valley National Park is a longer drive away.

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.
