What it’s like
The place. North Ridgeville is a city in Lorain County where nearly all homes are lived in by their owners, and household incomes run well above the county's. Residents tend to be middle-aged, a smaller share live below the poverty line than is typical, and a good many adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, and summers turn warm in July, with a fair amount of rain and melted snow through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, professional and business services, and shops also employing many. Within the city, the largest workplaces include North Ridgeville City Schools, the construction firm Rudolph Libbe and the trucking company Dayton Freight Lines. Unemployment is low and has fallen over the past year, a good number of people work from home, and the typical commute is of moderate length.
Things to do. The Black River is a short drive away, and it is the nearest of the places worth knowing about. A longer drive brings you to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, one of the best known museums in the region, and to Cuyahoga Valley National Park, a national park with river valley scenery. The Cleveland Museum of Art is also a longer drive away, for days given to galleries.
