Cuyahoga County, not Solon
Cuyahoga County context, not Solon figures
These are Cuyahoga County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Solon measurements.
- Establishments in Cuyahoga County31,496
- Employment at those establishments, Cuyahoga County681,543
- Covered employment, Cuyahoga County705,152
- Average annual pay, Cuyahoga County$75,134
- Average weekly wage, Cuyahoga County$1,445
- Housing units permitted, Cuyahoga County1,685

- County product change over the prior year, Cuyahoga County5.1 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Cuyahoga County$70,762
Every figure in this section is published for Cuyahoga County as a whole and is not a measurement of Solon. It is here because a county backdrop is what a credit committee reads a place against, and it is labelled so that it can never be quoted as the place's own.

Coverage
What this page does not hold.
Every item below could be filled with a plausible figure. None of them is. On a page a lender may read, a number that cannot be traced is worse than an absence, so the absences are named.
- Parcel level detail, zoning and flood zone at an address are resolved in the platform, not on this page.
SBA figures count approvals to borrowers whose address is in the place. They are not approvals for projects inside the place boundary: the tape records a borrower city and a project county, and those can differ.
Common questions
Solon questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Solon, Ohio?
23,943, in 8,885 households. Solon city covers 20.31 square miles of land, which is 1,179 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Solon in?
Cuyahoga County, which holds 100.0 percent of the place by area. Source: US Census Bureau, cartographic boundary file, places, 2024 vintage.
What is the median household income in Solon?
$139,089. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $392,900. Median gross rent is $1,626 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Solon businesses?
96 7(a) approvals totalling $39.7 m, across 25 lenders, median approval $150,000, plus 22 504 approvals worth $18.8 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Solon, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Solon borrowers get paid back?
Of the 33 loans that have reached a final outcome, 28 were paid in full and 5 charged off, a charge off rate of 15.2 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Solon in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Solon appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 390130, with no Community Rating System class, so no CRS discount applies. Whether a specific parcel sits in a mapped special flood hazard area is an address level question the platform answers.
Are the county figures on this page Solon figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Cuyahoga County as a whole and there is no place level equivalent. They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Solon.
Is zoning published for Solon?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
