CLEVELAND, Ohio — Cuyahoga County’s 2018 gross domestic product of $88.7 billion outpaced Ohio’s other 87 counties, the county reported Thursday.

The data, released in December by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis and highlighted in a Thursday news release, shows that Cuyahoga County’s GDP increased more in 2018 than in the three preceding years.

The county’s 2018 GDP, which is the monetary value of all goods and services provided over a specific period of time, was up 2 percent over 2017’s $87 billion, according to the data.

The GDP was $85.9 billion in 2016, and $85.8 billion in 2015, the data shows.

In 2018, Cuyahoga County’s GDP outpaced that of Franklin County, which includes Columbus, the state’s largest city. Frank County’s GDP was $86.5 billion, a 2.1 increase over the previous year.

The news release said Cuyahoga County was also faring well compared to other large areas in the region, including Marion County, Indiana, which includes Indianapolis, and Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, which includes Pittsburgh.

Allegheny County’s 2018 GDP was $86.8 billion, a 3.2 percent increase over the previous year, and Marion County’s was $83 billion, a 1.6 percent increase.

Cuyahoga County Executive Armond Budish in the release cited several of the county’s recent economic development investments, and said the county has made job creation, retention, attraction and training a top priority.
