What it’s like

The place. Bagwell is a small town in Red River County, in the northeast of Texas. Most homes here are lived in by their owners, and renters are a smaller group than across much of the state. Incomes are lower than the county's average, and the median age is higher than in many places, so the town has a settled, older feel. Winters are mild, with cool nights that can dip to freezing, while summers are hot. The area gets a good deal of rain across the year.

Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, and manufacturing and the building trades also employ a good number of people. Retail shops are another common source of work. Jobs across the county grew slightly last year, though unemployment is a little higher than it was a year earlier. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and some residents work from home.

Things to do. Big Pine Creek is a river a short drive away, which makes it the most convenient spot for a day outdoors. Raymond Gary State Park is a protected area a longer drive off, suited to those who enjoy quiet walks among trees. Pat Mayse Lake, also a longer drive away, is a lake for those who like being on or near open water.
