What it’s like
The place. Barry is a very small Texas city in Navarro County, with far fewer people than most towns. Few adults here hold a four-year degree, and home values run well above what the county's household incomes might suggest. Winters are mild and cool, summers are hot, and snow is rare, with a fair amount of rain through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by manufacturing, retail and the building trades, and very few work from home. Across Navarro County, some of the biggest employers are Corsicana ISD, Navarro College and Navarro Regional Hospital. Unemployment across the county is a little higher than a year ago, though the county has added jobs over the past year.
Things to do. Waxahachie Creek, a river, is a short drive away, and so is Tiger Stadium, a stadium for local games. Those who don't mind a longer drive can reach Navarro Mills Lake, a reservoir, or Texas Motorplex, a race track.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Barry’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Navarro County and the Corsicana, TX metro.
