Cleveland itself has a 2.5% city income tax, and the suburb where someone lives may also charge a local income tax, though residents typically receive partial credit to avoid full double taxation. Ohio's state income tax reaches 3.75% at the top bracket. The combined local and state burden is moderate but not negligible.",[12,22,23],{},"Like Detroit, Cleveland's affordability reflects a city that has lost significant population over the past 60 years, from a peak of nearly 900,000 in 1950 to roughly 370,000 today. The metro area is larger and more stable than the city itself. Suburbs like Lakewood, Shaker Heights, Cleveland Heights, and Westlake have strong housing markets with good school systems and reasonably maintained infrastructure, and they carry higher prices than the city core.
