Property tax · $226/mo 2.00% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Cuyahoga County, OH
Insurance & upkeep · $145/mo insurance, maintenance and repairs together, from the BLS Consumer Expenditure Survey — the national figure for mortgaged homeowners, scaled to this market's home value. BLS publishes the three bundled and they cannot be split.
Both are priced off the same month's home value, so they rise with the market. Neither is a quote — a specific home's bill depends on its assessment, its age and its insurer.

What it’s like
The place. Maple Heights is a city in Cuyahoga County, home to a fairly young population for a place its age, with a typical resident younger than the typical American. Incomes here run below the county's, and more people live below the poverty line than is usual across the county. A good share of homes are lived in by their owners, though rentals are common too, and a four-year degree is less common among adults than in many nearby communities. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest. Rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, retail and professional and business services also employing a good number. Among the largest workplaces in Maple Heights are Maple Heights City Schools, Phoenix Maple Heights Operating Co, a skilled nursing facility, and Clifton Steel, a metal fabricator. Unemployment is lower than it was a year earlier, though across Cuyahoga County there are somewhat fewer jobs than the year before. The typical commute is moderate, and only a small share of people work from home.
Things to do. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, a museum devoted to the history of rock music, and the Cleveland Museum of Art are both a short drive away. Cleveland Metroparks Zoo is also a short drive away. For a day outdoors, Cuyahoga Valley National Park is a longer drive, a river-valley park of woods and trails.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Maple Heights’ 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.
