What it’s like
The place. Marble is a very small town in Gunnison County, small enough that neighbors tend to know one another. Household incomes run well above the county's, and very few residents live below the poverty line. Homes here are valued above what is typical for much of the country. Winters are long, cold and extremely snowy, while summers stay mild and pleasant.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, in professional and business services, and in the building trades. Very few work from home. Across Gunnison County, the largest workplaces include Gunnison Valley Hospital, the Gunnison Watershed School District and the Forest Service. Unemployment in the county is a little higher than a year ago, and the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before.
Things to do. Lizard Lake is a lake in or beside town, and Snowmass Lake is another lake a short drive away. For a longer outing, Gunnison National Forest is a protected area of woods and mountains, and Crested Butte Mountain Resort is a ski area, both a longer drive away. With so much snow each winter, the skiing and the high country are the main draw.

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