What it’s like
The place. Crandall is a small Texas city in Kaufman County where nearly all homes are lived in by their owners, a much higher share than is usual across the country. Household incomes sit just a little below the county's, and typical home values and rents are the kind found in the outer reaches of a big metropolitan area. Residents are of middle age on the whole, and few adults hold a four-year degree.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in transport, warehouses and utilities, in the building trades, and in shops. Across Kaufman County, the largest workplaces include Forney ISD, Amazon and Madix, and the county has been adding jobs. Commutes tend to be long, though a fair number of people work from home.
Things to do. The Dallas Museum of Art and the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza are both museums, and both are a longer drive away. Lake Ray Hubbard, a reservoir, offers open water, also a longer drive away. Winters here are mild and summers get very hot, so spring and autumn suit the trips best.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Crandall’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 Kaufman County and the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX metro.
