Our Communities is County Planning’s Data Book about the communities that comprise Cuyahoga County. It includes up-to-date information on demographics, the economy, housing, land use, transportation, and health for all of the county’s cities, villages, and townships.

Current Data Book

Our Communities 2026 covers local data about the communities within Cuyahoga County and how they relate to one another. It’s the sixth publication in the series.

Mapping application

The Data Book covers 62 indicators in six categories. Each indicator is mapped and displayed as a list by community. The sorted lists are not meant to suggest a ranking for each community. Communities have different sizes, shapes, land use compositions, and locations; and these factors affect the data. This data should be taken as a whole to understand a community’s complete profile.

The 2026 edition of the Data Book includes seven new indicators, and five indicators were removed. All others were refreshed with the latest available data. To improve accessibility, the PDF version now includes bookmarks for easier navigation.

Previous Editions

In general, information in the current and previous editions of Our Communities should not be compared. Most of the data comes from multi-year surveys with overlapping time periods that do not provide appropriate comparisons.

Data Accuracy

The Data Books generally use information collected and shared by external sources, and the data source for each metric is listed on the appropriate page. The goal of the document is to provide only the most relevant and accurate data available; however, we have not independently verified the information. For questions about data, suggestions for improvements, or identification of errors, please contact County Planning.
