What it’s like
The place. Daniel is a small town in Wasatch County where most homes are lived in by their owners, more so than is typical, and the homes are valued well above what is common across much of the country. Household incomes run somewhat below the county's, and few residents live below the poverty line. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and a good deal of snow falls each year, while July brings hot summer days.
Work. Residents work mostly in professional and business services, in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, in shops, and in the building trades. Across Wasatch County, some of the largest workplaces are Summit Line Construction, Heber Valley Hospital and The Homestead Resort - Midway. Unemployment in the county is low, and the county has added jobs over the past year; a typical commute is a fairly short drive, and some residents work from home.
Things to do. The Heber Valley Railroad and the CAF Utah Wing Museum are both in or beside town. Wasatch Mountain State Park and Deer Creek State Park are each a short drive away, and Park City Mountain Resort, a ski area, is a longer drive.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Daniel’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very low. 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 Wasatch County and the Heber, UT metro.
