Mayfield Heights city, OH in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Mayfield Heights city is a mid-size town in Ohio, with 20,082 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #86 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 93% of them. The median age here is 38.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Mayfield Heights city earn a median of $62,511 a year, 20.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 6% below the $66,250 median for the 689 Ohio cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Mayfield Heights city is valued at $187,600, 38.2% below the national figure and 11% above the $168,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,089 a month, 22.5% below the national figure, or roughly $13,068 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.9% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 47.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
