Lorain County

Located along the southern shore of Lake Erie in northeastern Ohio, Lorain County is home to 314,588 residents spread across a mix of small cities, suburbs, and rural townships. The county's 135,584 housing units lean heavily toward ownership, with 73.7 percent of occupied homes owner-occupied, and renters paying a median gross rent of $916 per month. The median household income sits at $70,693. Most workers commute out to jobs in surrounding areas, with an average one-way commute of 22.8 minutes, and just 1.6 percent of the workforce does its job from home. The local economy draws workers across a range of industries, from manufacturing and healthcare to retail and construction, reflecting the broader economic character of Ohio's northern corridor. The housing stock includes a substantial share of older single-family homes alongside more recent development, particularly in suburban communities closer to the Interstate 90 corridor that connects the county to Cleveland to the east.
