What it’s like
The place. Redvale is a very small community in San Miguel County, Colorado, with far fewer residents than most towns. Homes here are worth a good deal more than in many small places, though few residents live below the poverty line. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and a lot of snow falls over the year, while summers turn warm in July. Rain and melted snow add up to a fairly dry year overall.
Work. People who live in Redvale find work mainly in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, in professional and business services, in shops, and in schools, hospitals and social care. Across San Miguel County, the largest workplaces include the Telluride School District, the Norwood School District and the home builders Fortenberry & Ricks. Unemployment across the county has risen a little over the past year, and the number of jobs there has stayed about the same as the year before.
Things to do. The nearest outdoor places are all a longer drive away. Uncompahgre National Forest is a large protected area of public land, and the San Miguel River is a river that runs through the county. Lone Mesa State Park is another protected area for those willing to make the trip.
