What it’s like
The place. Deport is a very small city in Lamar County, in the northeast corner of Texas. Typical home values here are modest, and the town's quiet pace goes with that. Winters are mild and cool, summers hot, and the year brings plenty of rain.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in manufacturing and in the building trades. Across Lamar County, some of the largest workplaces are The Campbell's Company in Paris, Paris ISD and Paris Regional Medical Center. Jobs in the county slipped a little last year, and unemployment there has edged up from a year earlier.
Things to do. For time outdoors, Cooper State Park is a protected area, and Pat Mayse Lake and Lake Crook are nearby bodies of water, each a longer drive away. The Lamar County Historical Museum is also a longer drive away, for an afternoon spent on local history.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Deport’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 Lamar County and the Paris, TX metro.
