What it’s like
The place. Avon is a small mountain town in Eagle County where residents skew young for a place with such expensive homes. Incomes run below the county's, and typical home values are very high, so more people rent than own their homes. Winters are long and cold, with a great deal of snow, while July is pleasantly warm and the year brings a moderate amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Most residents work in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, with many others in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in the building trades. In Avon itself, King Soopers, Xssentials Vail and Wyndham Vacation Ownership are among the largest workplaces. Few people work from home, and unemployment across the county has edged up a little over the past year.
Things to do. Beaver Creek Resort, a ski area, is in or beside town, and Vail Ski Resort is a short drive away. Also a short drive off are Gore Creek, a river, and Betty Ford Alpine Gardens, a botanical garden. For a longer outing, White River National Forest, a protected area, is a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Avon’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Eagle County and the Edwards, CO metro.
