What it’s like
The place. Peninsula is a small village, and most of the homes in it are lived in by their owners. Household incomes run well above the county's, few people live below the poverty line, and a large share of adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, summers are pleasantly warm, and the year brings a fair amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, retail, and professional and business services also employing many. The commute is typical for the region, and across Summit County some of the largest workplaces are Summa Health System, Akron City Schools and Akron General Medical Center. The county's unemployment rate is lower than a year ago, though the number of jobs has slipped slightly.
Things to do. Cuyahoga Valley National Park lies in or beside town, and the Jim Brown Tavern, listed as a museum, is there too. A short drive away is Brandywine Creek. For a longer outing, the Akron Art Museum and the Pro Football Hall of Fame are both museums a longer drive away.
