Insurance & upkeep · $248/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. Mayfield Heights is a city in Cuyahoga County, east of Cleveland, with a population that is mostly working-age adults and a median age close to the middle of the range. Household incomes run a little above the county's, and a good share of adults hold a four-year degree. Renters and owners are nearly evenly split here, with more renters than across much of the county. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while July brings warm summer days, and precipitation is steady through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, professional and business services, and manufacturing. Among the largest workplaces in Mayfield Heights are Hillcrest Hospital, Materion's regional offices and Costco Wholesale. Commutes are fairly short, and a good number of people work from home.
Things to do. The Cleveland Museum of Art and the Cleveland Museum of Natural History are both a short drive away, as is the Cleveland Cultural Gardens, a string of parks honoring the city's many communities. For a longer outing, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, one of the best known museums in the country, is a longer drive away, as is Cuyahoga Valley National Park.

Natural hazards
- Cold wavesrelatively high in parts of Mayfield HeightsRelatively moderate
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Mayfield Heights’ census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very 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.
