What it’s like
The place. Blooming Grove is a very small town in Navarro County, Texas, where most people know their neighbors. Incomes across the county run below the national picture, and homes in town are modestly priced. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and commutes tend to be long, since much of the work lies outside the town itself.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in manufacturing and in the building trades. Across Navarro County, some of the largest workplaces are Corsicana ISD, Navarro College and Navarro Regional Hospital. Unemployment across the county has risen a little over the past year, though the county has added jobs.
Things to do. Navarro Mills Lake, a reservoir, is a short drive away and is the closest spot for time on the water. Farther out, Lake Waxahachie and Lake Bardwell are reservoirs a longer drive away, and Texas Motorplex is a race track in the same range. Winters are cool and summers are hot and long, with little or no snow and a fair amount of rain through the year.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Blooming Grove’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.
