What it’s like
The place. Kirtland Hills is a small village in Lake County, Ohio, where nearly everyone lives in a home they own. Household incomes run far above the county's, and very few residents live below the poverty line. Most adults hold a four-year degree, and winters are cold, with January the coldest month, while July is warm. Over the year the village gets a fair amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, manufacturing, and professional and business services. Across Lake County, some of the largest workplaces are Lake Hospital System, Steris and Mentor Exempted Village Schools. The typical commute is a modest one, and a good number of residents work from home.
Things to do. Holden Arboretum, a botanical garden, and the James A. Garfield National Historic Site, a protected area, are both in or beside town. The Chagrin River is a short drive away, and Cuyahoga Valley National Park and the Cleveland Museum of Art are 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 Kirtland Hills’ 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 Lake County and the Cleveland-Elyria, OH metro.
