Located on the west side of Cleveland, the Steam Furnace Co. brought migrants from across the world to the area. Some of the migrants were natives, while others came from New York State and New England. While the natives were generally middle and upper class, many stayed and invested in the city's future. In 1840, the Steam Furnace Co. employed over one hundred people.
The majority of the population of this ZIP code is white, with a large percentage of middle-aged adults and families. However, the number of single adults and families is much lower. There are few vacancies and a low percentage of single parents. For this reason, it is difficult to determine the level of social stratification in Union Furnace City. However, these statistics can help identify where a community stands socially and economically.
