What it’s like
The place. Silver Lake is a small village in Summit County, and it is a settled, quiet place. Residents are older than in most of the country, and almost everyone owns the home they live in. Incomes are well above the county's, very few households live in poverty, and a four-year degree is common among adults. Winters are cold and summers are warm, with rain and melted snow spread through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in professional and business services, manufacturing, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Summit County, some of the largest workplaces are Summa Health System, Akron City Schools and Akron General Medical Center. The commute is a fairly typical one, and a good number of people work from home. Jobs across the county slipped slightly last year, and unemployment is lower than it was a year earlier.
Things to do. Crystal Lake sits in or beside town, a convenient spot for a walk by the water. Cuyahoga Valley National Park is a short drive away, and so is the Akron Art Museum. For a longer outing, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, a museum, is a longer drive away.

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