Manvel is a somewhat small city located in the state of Texas. With a population of 14,803 people and five associated neighborhoods, Manvel is the 251st largest community in Texas. Much of the housing stock in Manvel was built relatively recently.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 13.53% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.
