What it’s like
The place. Maribel is a very small village in Manitowoc County, home to far fewer people than most towns. Residents are younger than in many small towns, and household incomes run above the county's, with fewer people living below the poverty line than you might expect for a place this size. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while summers are warm in July and the year brings a fair amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Many residents work in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Manitowoc County, some of the largest workplaces are Sargento Cheese, Manitowoc School District and Holy Family Memorial. The county has seen a slight dip in jobs over the past year, and unemployment there is a little higher than a year ago. A typical commute is a modest drive, and few people work from home.
Things to do. Cherney Maribel Caves County Park, a tourist attraction in or beside town, is the nearest place to spend an afternoon outdoors. A short drive away are Francis Creek and the Devils River, both good for time near the water. For a longer outing, Point Beach State Forest is a protected area a longer drive away, and Lambeau Field is also a longer drive.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Manitowoc County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively 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 Manitowoc County and the Manitowoc, WI metro.
