Independence

Located in Cuyahoga County just south of Cleveland, Independence is a city of 7,543 residents with a notably high owner-occupied housing rate of 94.8 percent across approximately 3,250 housing units. The median household income of $114,049 reflects a workforce concentrated in professional and business services, a sector reinforced by the presence of several corporate headquarters and office parks along the Rockside Road corridor. For residents who rent, median gross rent runs $1,547 per month. The city sits at the intersection of several major interstates, including I-77, I-480, and I-271, making it a practical base for commuters traveling throughout Greater Cleveland and the surrounding region. Most workers drive alone to their jobs, consistent with the suburban character of the area. The housing stock skews toward single-family detached homes, in keeping with the ownership-dominant profile, and the relatively compact population of roughly 7,500 gives the city a tight geographic footprint within its Cuyahoga County setting.
