What it’s like
The place. Richfield is a small village in Summit County, Ohio, where nearly everyone lives in a home they own. Homes are valued well above what is typical across the country, and household incomes in the village run above the county's, with relatively few residents living in poverty. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and plenty of snow mixed into a fairly wet year, while July brings pleasantly warm days.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, retail, and professional and business services also employing many. More than most places, adults here hold a four-year degree, and a good number work from home. In Richfield itself, the largest workplaces are in shipping and freight, including FedEx and FedEx Freight, along with Avnet Richfield, an electronic parts wholesaler.
Things to do. Cuyahoga Valley National Park is a short drive away and the nearest large stretch of protected countryside. Brandywine Creek, also a short drive off, is a stream worth a visit for a quiet walk. For a day out in the city, the Cleveland Museum of Art is a longer drive away and one of the area's best-known museums.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Richfield’s 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 Summit County and the Akron, OH metro.
