Avon Lake

Situated along the southern shore of Lake Erie in Lorain County, this city of roughly 25,456 residents has a notably high homeownership rate of 82.2 percent, with a total housing stock of 10,884 units. The median gross rent runs $1,500 per month for those who lease. Households here earn a median income of $110,174 per year, well above state and national medians. Most working residents commute to jobs elsewhere, with an average one-way trip of 23.5 minutes, and only 0.6 percent of the workforce works from home, suggesting the local economy relies heavily on in-person employment in the broader northeast Ohio region. Avon Lake sits adjacent to the city of Avon and connects easily to the Cleveland metro via Route 6 and Interstate 90, which likely shapes those commute patterns. The community developed significantly in the postwar decades, and its housing stock reflects that era of suburban growth along the Lake Erie shoreline.
