The area is also known as “”The Circle”” to locals.[4] Encompassing approximately 550 acres (220 ha) the University neighborhood is bordered to the north by the Glenville neighborhood, to the south by the Buckeye-Shaker neighborhood, to the west and southwest by the neighborhoods of Hough and Fairfax (also known as Midtown) and to the east by the cities of East Cleveland and Cleveland Heights. University Circle is member of the Global Cultural Districts Network.While the population of University Circle ranks on the lower end of Cleveland’s 36 defined Statistical Planning Areas (SPAs), it ranks near the top in importance to the city’s economic sector.
