What it’s like

The place. Solon is a city in Cuyahoga County where most homes are lived in by their owners, well above the county as a whole, and where the people tend to be older than in much of the country. Household incomes run far above the county's, and very few residents live below the poverty line. Most adults hold a four-year degree, and typical home values and rents are on the high side. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest. Rain and melted snow add up to a fair amount over the year.

Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by banks, insurance and property, professional and business services, and manufacturing. Manufacturing is also strong among the employers in town: Swagelok's main plant is the largest workplace in Solon, and Solon City Schools and the Nestle factory are among the others. The typical commute is a short one, and a good number of residents work from home. Unemployment across Cuyahoga County is lower than a year earlier, though the county has somewhat fewer jobs than the year before.

Things to do. A short drive away are Geauga Lake, a former amusement park site, and the Big Dipper, a tourist attraction. For a longer drive, the Cleveland Museum of Art is one of the best known museums in the region, and Cuyahoga Valley National Park offers a national park setting for walking and time outdoors. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, also a longer drive away, is among the city's most visited museums.
