What it’s like
The place. Wickliffe is a city in Lake County, Ohio, with a population on the older side and a mix of ages. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and household incomes run a little above the county's, with a smaller share of residents below the poverty line than many places. Winters are cold and summers warm, and precipitation, rain and melted snow together, is fairly generous across the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and professional and business services also well represented. Some of the largest workplaces in Wickliffe are PCC Airfoils SMP, a metal castings manufacturer, Wickliffe City Schools, and Wickliffe Country Place, a skilled nursing facility. The commute is fairly short, and unemployment across Lake County has eased over the past year.
Things to do. Several places are a short drive away. Euclid Beach Park is an amusement park, the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Cleveland Museum of Natural History are both museums, and the Chagrin River offers time by the water. For a longer outing, Cuyahoga Valley National Park is a longer drive away.

Natural hazards
- Winter weatherRelatively high
- Strong windRelatively moderate
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Wickliffe’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 Lake County and the Cleveland-Elyria, OH metro.
