What it’s like
The place. Manila is a very small town in Daggett County, Utah, with a population well below that of most towns in the country. Winters are cold, with December days that stay near freezing and nights well below it. Summers are warm without being hot, and the year brings little rain and melted snow, so the climate is on the dry side.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, in farming, forestry and mining, and in the building trades. Very few people work from home, and fewer adults hold a four-year degree than across the country as a whole. Across Daggett County, unemployment is low and slightly lower than a year earlier, and the number of jobs has grown.
Things to do. Henrys Fork, a river, and Browne Lake, a reservoir, are both a short drive away, as is the Ute Mountain Fire Tower, a tourist attraction. A longer drive leads to Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area, a protected area, and to Flaming Gorge Reservoir, a large body of water for boating and fishing.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Manila’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. 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 Daggett County.
