What it’s like
The place. Vinton is a village in El Paso County, and almost everyone who lives there owns their home. Residents are somewhat older than in many towns, and household incomes run above the county's, though a fair number of people live below the poverty line. Winters are mild and almost snowless, summers are hot, and the rainfall is light for a year.
Work. Residents work mainly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in transport, warehousing and utilities. Some of the largest workplaces in Vinton are Tewa, Kyoei Steel America and Commercial Roofing - Texas. Few adults hold a four-year degree, most people commute to work, and very few work from home. Unemployment across El Paso County is a little lower than it was a year earlier, and the county has added jobs.
Things to do. Wet N' Wild Waterworld, an amusement park, is in or beside town. A short drive away are Franklin Mountains State Park and Castner Range National Monument, both protected areas for walking and open desert views. War Eagles Air Museum, also a short drive off, is a good stop for anyone who likes old aircraft.
