What it’s like
The place. Daingerfield is a small city in Morris County in northeast Texas, with a population that makes it the kind of place where neighbors tend to know one another. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and the typical home value is modest. Incomes run below the county's, and a good share of residents live below the poverty line. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in many places, and the weather is mild in winter and hot in summer: January days are cool with chilly nights and little or no snow, August afternoons are hot, and rain falls steadily through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in manufacturing, retail, and transport and warehousing. The largest workplaces in town include the Daingerfield-Lone Star school district, Brookshire's grocery store and Capstone-Daingerfield OpCo, a skilled nursing facility. Commutes are of middling length, few people work from home, and across Morris County unemployment is a little higher than a year ago while the number of jobs has slipped.
Things to do. Daingerfield State Park, a protected area in or beside town, is the nearest place to get outdoors. Welsh Reservoir is a short drive away for time on the water. Farther afield, a longer drive brings you to Lake Bob Sandlin State Park, another protected area with lake shoreline.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Daingerfield’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. 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 Morris County.
