What it’s like
The place. Aquilla is a small city in Hill County, in central Texas, and it is a very small community where people tend to know one another. Incomes here are below the county's. Winters are mild with little or no snow, summers run hot, and the area gets a good deal of rain over the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, building trades, retail shops, and manufacturing. Unemployment in Hill County is about the same as it was a year earlier, and the number of jobs across the county grew over the last year. Getting to work usually means a drive of some length.
Things to do. Waco Mammoth National Monument is a protected area a longer drive away, known for its mammoth fossils. Lake Whitney, a reservoir a short drive off, has a state park along its shore for outdoor time close by. Cameron Park Zoo, a zoo a longer drive away, is another option for a day out.
