What it’s like
The place. Mansfield is a very small town in Douglas County, Washington, with a population that most visitors would count as a handful of streets. Winters are cold and snowy, with the coldest days in January, and summers turn hot by July. Precipitation is light overall, so this is dry country, and the typical home here costs less than in many parts of the state.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by farming, forestry and mining, then shops and the building trades. Few people work from home, and fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in many towns. Across Douglas County, the biggest employers include the Eastmont School District, Stemilt AG Services and the county's public utility district.
Things to do. Lake Chelan, a large reservoir, is a longer drive away and is the best known of the nearby places. Dry Falls, a waterfall, and Sun Lakes-Dry Falls State Park, a protected area, are also a longer drive away. The Methow River is another longer drive, for those who prefer a river to a lake.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Mansfield’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 Douglas County and the Wenatchee, WA metro.
