ARTICLE: Independence In-Depth
The city of Independence is a part of the Cleveland-Lorain-Elyria metropolitan area in northeastern Ohio. According to the latest census data, it has a population of just over 7,000. Independence is located 10 miles south of Cleveland.

Although the cost of living in Independence is about 12% higher than average in the U.S., it is offset by the median household income of $58,274, well over the national average. Schools in the city also spend almost $3,000 more per student than the national average.

Independence is home to many corporate offices and high-tech centers. Over 1,400 companies populate its Rockside Road Corridor, including Hewlett Packard, Siemens, and Wells Fargo. 35,000 people come to work in Independence every day. The Rockside Road Corridor has over four million square feet of office space, but it has the lowest vacancy rate of any office market in suburban Cleveland.

Independence is nestled against the northern edge of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. The park allows for a quick escape from the downtown bustle of the metro area and is perfect for hiking and camping. A series of free concerts are held at the park in the spring and summer, showcasing folk, bluegrass and Celtic music. The city also boasts a civic center that coordinates trips, events, and programs for people of all ages, ranging from pre-school for toddlers to transportation and meal services for the elderly.
