What it’s like
The place. Blue Mound is a small city in Tarrant County, with a quiet, close-knit feel. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and incomes run below the county's. Winters are mild and brief, with January the coldest month and daytime highs staying above freezing, while summers are hot, with August the warmest and afternoons well into the heat.
Work. Residents work mostly in shops, the building trades, schools, hospitals and social care, and transport, warehouses and utilities. A four-year degree is less common here than across much of the country, and many people commute a fair way to work, with some working from home. Across Tarrant County, large employers include Fort Worth ISD, Lockheed Martin and JPS Health Network.
Things to do. A short drive takes you into Fort Worth, where the Amon Carter Museum of American Art and the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth are both museums worth an afternoon. The Fort Worth Zoo is also a short drive away. For a bigger outing, AT&T Stadium is a longer drive away and is one of the best known stadiums in the state.
