What it’s like
The place. Minturn is a small town in the mountains of Eagle County, with incomes a little above the county's. Winters are long, cold and very snowy, with December the coldest month, and summers are mild and pleasant, with July the warmest. Rain and melted snow add up to a modest amount through the year.
Work. Many residents work in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in the building trades. Across Eagle County, the largest workplaces include The Vail, which runs ski facilities, the county's public school district, and Vail Valley Medical Center. Commutes are short, and a small share of people work from home.
Things to do. Vail Ski Resort and Beaver Creek Resort, both ski areas, are a short drive away, as is Camp Hale–Continental Divide National Monument, a protected area. Betty Ford Alpine Gardens, a botanical garden, is also a short drive away. For a river day, the Arkansas River 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 Minturn’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 Eagle County and the Edwards, CO metro.
