What it’s like
The place. Middlefield is a small village in Geauga County, and most homes here are lived in by their owners. Household incomes are well below the county's, and the typical home value sits in a middle range for the area. Winters are cold and very snowy, with January the coldest month, while summers are mild and warm, and rain and melted snow add up to a fair amount through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with professional and business services, shops and manufacturing also employing many people. Some of the largest workplaces in Middlefield are CabinetWorks Group, Walmart and Cardinal Local Schools. Commutes are fairly short, and very few people work from home.
Things to do. Punderson State Park and Nelson Kennedy Ledges State Park are both protected areas a short drive away. For a longer outing, Cuyahoga Valley National Park and the Cleveland Museum of Art are a longer drive away, and the Holden Arboretum is a botanical garden also a longer drive from the village.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Middlefield’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low.
